CMP2 take their player and Windows XP shell pretty seriously also, guess they are just all in on the scam together

No case, as you can see - in fact it may add to SQ - no nasty reflections bouncing around, plus -not clear in pic but PSU is app 700mm from mobo-again less chance of neg interference
RE: the JPLAY references, maybe Foobar is upset that JPLAY makes it sound much better than Foobar managed
I use JPLAY, JRiver for casual, background listening and JPLAY mini with full hibernate mode for serious sessions - nothing I've heard comes close

J River is worth $50 to me just to have combined flexibility of Foobar in technical terms with an interface similar to but better than itunes. Since starting to use J River I've really enjoyed the act of listening and browsing my library significantly more than when I was using Foobar.

I'm unfortunately stuck with iTunes. I've got my library just the way I want it here and while all the tags and art should just transfer into any program (just finished embeddig my album art) there always seems to be little problems. Like not all the art being there. Rage.

Zune software is really nice if you're a neat freak. Just include a saved image of the album art within the album folder and then browse to that file path. Usually it autodetects it but this is a simple fix. I can just take my collection folder and drop it into any Zune program and have it all set up just like at home within 5 mins.

Zune looks nicer when not in use but I actually like the iTunes interface. I haven't tried it for a long time though (since my Zune 120 failed).

My issue with itunes are the incessant bugs and problems. I don't know how many times I've seen my entire collection just disappear, my whole PC just completely lock up, or itunes hadn't launched despite starting the program and killing in task manager 10 or more times.
