I'll check it out. I switched to Mac/iTunes at the same time as the author and I lost interest in iTunes at the time they introduced iTunes Match. Also I now use an Android phone so I had to figure that bit out already. I have a large music collection that I rsync'd to linux and I have a copy in windows. Foobar2000 and Clementine are more enjoyable for me as players. I buy all of my digital music from Amazon or eMusic so that's not an issue.
I'll give Swinsian a try; it seems like a good replacement.
