Nope, don't think so.

Hmm, trying to work out how best to get the music library seen by it so Dee can sync stuff off it.

What's my best bet, mount a read only share (dont want it messing) to a letter and point it at that?

I quite like itunes though, but all mac products have grown on me in the past year or so. I can't think of anything I do on the PC that I wouldn't be able to do on a mac now. Just need the money for a macbook

I don't understand how anyone can like iTunes I mean i've used it, and used it exclusively for a year, because i couldn't find anything that worked with my iPod, and managed music well (i don't count winamp, thats still stuck in the 90's ). My none computer literate friends use it, and i agree it works. But as software go, its really nothing special at all Which is a shame because apple can do things well, but they bought out the wrong software developer for this... When i found Mediamonkey i realised again how much i'd been out music wise while i was using iTunes, no more messing around trying to get the library to watch a folder, no more messing around generally getting rid of duplicated with iTunes etc... I could go on but this isn't the place

Saw your thread on OcUK
My current aim is hopefully sometime next year I can manage a Macbook if I'm careful and pass my laptop onto my Mum.

I agree it's nothing special. But I don't want anything special It plays music, that's fine for me! Used to use foobar but in the end I realised all I ever did was just play music, so might as well just stick with itunes as it's what was installed first when i got the iphone and I need it to install updates etc. My music's fairly organised and I just don't need any fancy features simply put

I've never heard of those guys but can't argue with the price. I always get my memory from Crucial who aren't always the cheapest but when I've had to return stuff (admittedly very rarely) the RMA and replacement procedure was a breeze.

Yep, that's what I'd do. There is an option in iTunes to make it not organize and manage your music but I went down the read only share route just incase.

Macs are awesome. Feek is doing The Right Thing. That is all.

I've bought one! Second hand, about six months old. Awesome price.

Collecting it tomorrow
