    Okay I am looking for a good program to oragnize my Music Library. I have tons of music and don't like the way Media Player oraganizes it I get lots of duplicates and wrong categories. ITUNES is okay as well, I just don't own or ever will own an IPOD, play my music on my dell Axim, or in the car! FREE stuff is always good, but for the right program I am willing to part with some cash.. Thanks Alot

    Well im in favor of Itunes. I dont have an ipod as well but itunes really organizes your libray nicely. You can also do a search and it puts the music into sub catagories so it is easier yet. My vote for itunes.

    Well I use iTunes and find it excellent to manage my music (over 2500 songs). I also find it convenient that it sorts out the files and folders and keeps it organised. I do not own an iPod either (but am considering getting one).

    In I tunes can I use it to load my Axim with music? Also can I use it to manage music I might not have "paid" for? I.E. downloads from file share sites?

    I use iTunes as well, and I don't think you can actually use it as an interface for putting the music on your Axim. I'm not even aware of any program that will act as an interface for that sort of thing, as the Axim is simply a PDA, isn't it just drag and drop via Explorer or something?

    For a FreeWare manager, without all that Apple Quicktime virus and crap, http://users.otenet.gr/~jtcliper/tgf/ will get you The GodFather. I use it to keep tabs on my 10,000 + .MP3's.

    itunes defenately gets my vote, i do have an ipod however. But even if i didnt im sure i would still use it. Very streamlined and keeps everything very organised. There is this program called "iArt" that will find and capture album art and lyrics for songs. I found it very impressive
