Mediamonkey gold with Agora MK2 skin myself
I still wish for there to be something 'better' though
Mediamonkey has a very powerful tagging and organisation engine but it's not the best at grabbing data. No Album art download database and the freedb for cd identification is a bit pants at times as well as non standard across submissions
Scripting engine is nice...... but isn't nice compared to extensions in songbird
Ideally I would like:
Sync all portable media players
Customizable filepath + filename for music storage
Customizable format ripping
Organization of files into library defined path/format settings
Standardised database structure with vast metadata available
High Quality (min 300x300) Album art
Multiple Genre support
Multiple/Featuring artist support
Skins
Gig listings from artists in my library/ ticket sales
Suggestions
Radio
Podcasts
EXTENSIONS/ADDONS!
Now I like the idea of ping...... but it just isn't gonna do it for me
It's music news.... not music, how can I discover new artsts, etc without listening to the songs? that's where I will always prefer last.fm (also I doubt the bands I listen to will be able to be followed.... which is another thing, why can't i download or access another countries music?).
Also why the fuck does itunes not recognise Metal as a genre? BUT does suggest Fitness/Workout as a genre???!!?!?!
Sorry Jobs, but your division needs a slap
Media monkey's good but getting a hold of podcasts is a pain, all the 'good' podacasts are nicely searchable within itunes, mediamoneky has some weird menu thing and haldf or more the podacasts aren't compatible or don't work. Rarely will the itunes podcasts publish the subscription URL elsewhere, so I need to register in itunes, download an episode, copy the subscription URL then import it into the other program. GROAN!
the odd min-max-close bar being moved on the mac also was weird and the volume bar having some dodgy shiny button didn't get the reason for it.
I dunno, I just want mediamonkey to be merged with songbird I guess
