No I'm not switching to anything else.

5000 music files, are you freaking kidding me?

I still have most of the song files in the comp hard drive, I have them on an ex hard drive since I'll probably get a new computer eventually.

Yeah, that's the problem, I procrastinated on it to. Once I hit 120Gb my Itunes would barely move it was so slow, so I had to transfer every single file, one discography at a time, and in segments too. Took weeks but it was worth it. I actually just finished a few days ago. But to be honest while I was on itunes I had TERRIBLE id3 tags, I actually deleted about 40Gb's because the discographies were so awful looking it wasn't even worth it. I had to re-download each one I had including Brian Eno, The Fall and Frank Zappa >=

yea. itunes is an amazing power hog. mediamonkey is nice and efficient. and it isnt much of a pain to switch. just uninstall itunes(it won't delete your music). install mediamonkey.then tell mediamonkey to scan your itunes folder. it is also nice for converting stuff and tagging everything. i would never go back to itunes.
