tons of music

SuperFastCVT · 07-05-2005, 10:09 PM

I was just wondering... how do you guys sort through all of your music in these different interfaces? I have been using itunes for a long time now and i usually use the search box to play what i want. Im guessing most of you have thousands of songs like myself, how do you sort through what you want to hear? I havent checked out every interface available here, but it seems to me like all of them just have a scroll bar to scroll through the music...

So, is there any interfaces that have a search option?

ahahah... that one took me a little while.

Thanks guys.

Nice skin thantos, looks very nice to use, however it would be nice to have a search bar without the on screen keyboard. While i search thoguh there, know of any other good ones?

you can modify the skin so the OSK doesnt popup.. but since we generally use this in our car WITHOUT a keyboard... we would have a really hard time typing in what we wanna search for...

Are you using this in your car??.. if so.. how on earth do you see anything on Itunes??

Whenever someone makes a decent Mac Front end, im sure it will use iTunes searchability and browsablity. id hope.

i dunno.... just do... it is kinda hard, but i manage. Maybe i have been straining my eyes for nothing. i guess ill have to **** around with some of the skins and see if i can modify one to not open the keyboard.

I used to have about 10,000 songs and they were just jumbled together in various directories. They were an accumulation of years of gathering stuff.
I had started to organize them and gather artwork and such. There are a few apps that automatically update tag info etc ... but you have to have some sort of organization to begin with..

This was all changed as I had moved everything to an external firewire drive ( F'in Maxtor POS ) and the drive crashed... so I had to start over again. I had some backed up on DVDs ( unable to read for some reason ) and about 3,000 in various other places.

Now, I am doing it right and organizing them so that the applications can keep track of what I have better.

I have always liked how Winamp uses the media library. It gets slow when you have tons and tons, but I think that it's the best right now for organizing stuff that is not already in set folders etc ...
