    Your the second person to tell me this. I am going to have to test out media monkey. I'm always happy to check out other option for sure. Does it integrate into Traktor at all?

    I installed the new iTunes on the computers I use except for my DJ laptop.

    To be honest, I don't really know. My tune collection is still in a right mess since the last time I installed iTunes. Well, that and the multiple computer swaps I have made recently. I just fire a playlist into a folder and scan it into Traktor whenever I want to play.

    Folders just will not due for me. I rely on the ID3 tags way too much to go back to folders. Really I don't think i could ever leave iTunes at this point because all of my automation would take forever to setup again because its been a non stop evolution with smart playlists to the point where everything is automated now. I just throw tracks in and tag em. Everything else is done for me by my smart lists.

    Win Amp is good on my PC. Haven't found an issue with itunes on my mac. Does what I need and I'm used to the way it works now.

    iTunes is way over bloated than it used to be but turn those annoying things off an its fine.

    iTunes does the job that the bit of my brain should do but died years ago.

    Everyone hates on iTunes. Ive tried alternatives but none of them integrate with Traktor in the way "I" want so i'll keep using it.

    What functions do you usually turn off?
