I use Itunes right now, but it seems to be a resource hog; takes about 2
minutes to come up, once up it's fairly fast, but I'm wondering what it's
doing during those two minutes. I have about 500 .mp3's catalogued. Any
others?

No offence but, I wouldn't use iTunes if you paid me

As to the time, it's most likely one of two things;

1. Gathering info about your file's/system each time it's run (instead of a
databse or whatever)
2. Your antivirus/antispyware etc, is scanning it upon running, which is
slowing it down.

Try MediaMonkey. Terrible name, nice program.

The free version works great.

Media audio collection. Great interface, good speed and scalability I use it for
40+ GB of mp3s and dozens of archive CDs.

Freeware, (even open source) at sourceforge.net

Maybe you didn't find it because it's called 'MPEG Audio Collection'

Yeah, googling around I've found it by myself!

Many thanks, however...

MediaMonkey is a great program....except for one thing....I like to use
icons for some folders to help me see them in a long list, and
MediaMonkey won't recognize that such a folder exists! I have to either
move the files to a standard non-iconed folder, or remove the
icon....*grump*....otherwise, it is an amazing program with sorting
abilities way beyond most others.

You know, you're right.

I never noticed before because I mostly use MM to catalog CDs as opposed to
FLACs, OGGs, MPCs, MP3s, etc. which reside on the hard-drive in folders.

After reading your post, however, I checked whether it could recognize a
download folder that I've "customized" with a special icon, and sure
enough, when MediaMonkey displays the folder tree for selecting files to
add, that folder doesn't appear in the tree.

I don't have many customized icons, and none that are currently relevant to
the use of MediaMonkey, but it's nice to know about this little quirk.

Thanks.
