I'm looking at changing my music management software and am looking for recommendations.
In the past I managed things manually, e.g., create folder for artist, create folders inside for each album, rip the CD and put in appropriate folder.
A few years back I got an iPod Touch and started using iTunes. It's heavy and clunky, but it worked well for managing the iPod and playing music while working. And it handled management of my files, although I expect Apple snoops upon people's non-iTunes purchased music.
But ... the iPod died (battery failed completely at the 2 year mark, speaker died as well) and Apple wanted $150 to fix a $200 unit. [IMO a non-replaceable battery should NOT die in 2 years.] While I liked the iPod, I can get players in the $20-$50 range, and have no interest in buying another Apple product. With no iPod, I'm ditching iTunes.
I looked at recent reviews and MusicBee seems to be the hands-down winner. I installed it and am giving it whirl. As part of this I'm re-ripping my entire Tull collection, as iTunes defaulted for MP4 and everything else uses MP3.
What managers are good, and why? I like free, but am not adverse to paying a reasonable amount for a good product.

Intrigued as to the answer as well. Thanks guys, yes it was in Wuppertal Germany and I believe there were three or four shows with choir. It was not a Christmas show. So I thought it might be interesting to hear what ian did with the choir-there are some videos on YouTube but I have not had a chance to look at them yet, and don't know if they are from other years.
