Ok, I looked at MP3Rat and wasn't impressed enough to actually download
the thing. I gotta agree with Rob, Media Monkey is the best that I've seen.
I don't care about scanning speed, I can still use it while it's scanning
and only the new stuff is affected by the speed of the scan. Huge database?
Yawn, I've got over a terrabyte of storage, a few bytes here or there is no
big deal any more. The current version works and works well. It has for at
least a couple years now that I'm aware of. I don't use all the features,
there are certainly better tagging programs around; but, as far as keeping
track of a lot of MP3s easily it's excellent. So what are these many other
far better programs?
