Anyone here tried using MediaMonkey?

If not, do so! It a very comprehensive media dukebox. I say dukebox as i use a totally trimmed down version of foobar to play files opened within explorer. But if i want to take control properly of what music i have on in the background (and sync to my iPod) i was using iTunes. But since the last time i used MediaMonkey v2.5, v3 has come out and its fantastic, and the scripts i've found are awesome.
I'm now totally integrated with last.fm.
I scrobble to it and AutoDJ (like party shuffle) from last.fm related music, so it goes with my flow rather than totally random.
I autorate my songs depending on how often i skip/play etc...
It randomly selects my top music plus other interesting stuff for my ipod the next time it syncs.
It autosyncs then ejects my iPod so no hassle can grab and go in a rush.
On top of a million and one other things!
There are a few UI issues i'm "dealing with" one major for me is the "browser" is pretty crap tbh, but heres to hoping they fix that as it goes? Its much quicker and more lightweight than iTunes too

Anyways more than happy i've barely scratched the surface, try it for free, and go Gold for skins and few other things (i'm Gold and it's probably not worth it really...).
