Hello everyone. So I've used iTunes to organize my music for a while, since I had an iPod 3 64gb. But the iPod recently died on me, and I have 1 TB of music in mp3, m4a and apple lossless. I just reformatted and, strangely, iTunes refuses to update my Genius results (that I used to create playlists) and takes an unveliabable ammount of time to add more files.
So far I've tried:
-Reforming the iTunes Library.
-Rebuilding the mp3 and the vbr headers with Foobar (I have an untouched copy on another drive of the entire library)
-Checking file permissions, access, etc.
Still, things haven't changed. And now I'm wondering what to do next. The only reason I'm sticking with iTunes is the few iTunes LP albums I got, and I suppose it's a funcionality that no other program could use. Still, it's too dumb to keep using it just because that. I've been thinking that transcoding the mp3s to m4a might do the trick, but obviously it's gonna degrade the quality, even a little bit.
So I'm asking, what would you do? What other programs might do the trick and better? I tried Media Monkey, but it seems unstable and somehow not robust enough. Been thinking about JRiver. What's your experience? Thanks in advance.
