I'm on the hunt for a decent music/media library management solution. It should be able to handle the majority of file types including MQA. I predominantly use Windows-based systems but do have a Mac in the house if needed.. I currently use dbPoweramp to rip purchased CDs (yes, I still buy them) into MP3 & FLAC files that reside on a NAS. The MP3s get fed into iTunes while the FLACs just sit in an unmanaged folder which gets read by SONOS for playback. I also keep another folder strictly for digitally purchased music from iTunes that also gets read by SONOS. I do not subscribe to any streaming services and am still on the fence of doing so.
Library consists of approx. 1700 CDs, probably about 30k tracks. Needless to say iTunes is slow when it comes to managing the MP3/MP4 portion of the files. The new software should be efficient in dealing with large libraries on a NAS.
I've read about Roon Player ($$$$$$), jRiver, Foobar (have used in the past for tag editing), and MediaMonkey. I've just started googling on these and trying to find others. I figured I could get a better feel what's good or not from the illustrious head-fi'ers here.
