Hi all, What are people using for their library/player software for large classical collections? I have about 3.5 TBs of mostly classical music on my Mac Mini connected external hard drive and have always used iTunes but it's always been a pain (missing files, duplicating folders - and I'm not particularly computer savvy). Roon doesn't do classical well. JRiver for Mac seems like an afterthought. Musichi? |

I like MusiChi, especially the tagger. Its reference database and the fact that it does understand Composition makes it great tool for classical. But you say Mac mini and CHI is Windows only. Recent iTunes can be configured to handle compositions http://www.thewelltemperedcomputer.com/SW/OSX/Classical.htm The Well Tempered Computer |
Most likely, multi-channel DSD/DXD -nt, posted on July 19, 2017 at 06:18:06 | |

Now I see what you mean. I was comparing DXD to DSD64 on the 2L site. With apologies to Senator Dirksen, a trillion here, a trillion there, and pretty soon you're talking about real data! My collection (devoid of DSD) is a mere 300 GB. :) |

The OP is a Mac user. Musicbee is Windows only. |

Too bad, too - I wish MusicBee were available for the Mac. It uses .Net, if I'm not mistaken. |
