Managing a Huge Music Collection? 273
subkid asks: "I've tried several different solutions to manage my music collection; iTunes, WinAmp playlists, visual MP3, and so forth. but none satisfy my idea of what I want. I have many thousand files and things are getting a bit out of hand. I like the functionality of iTunes but not the memory it uses. WinAmp uses less but makes finding the song I want is even harder. Things like musicbrainz.org help for making sure the songs are tagged properly but is there an all-in-one solution? How do you manage your large collection?"

You know those plastic crates the dairy industry uses? There's a reason God saw to it that they're just the right size for phonograph albums.

You say that even though you know there's just no viable alternatives to amaroK on either of those platforms. Face it, they will never be ready for the desktop unless the apps start getting ported.
