And btm my GF and I love a lot of the same music when we listen to each others music we really like the same stuff frequently or acquire a taste for it, although we own a lot of different music and quite a few intersections. We both like Sting - she likes many of his slow songs I like his up tempo ones more and between both of us we have all his CDs with some overlap, as a small example. She listens to more music from this decade than I do, but as i listen to her choices I am beginning to enjoy it. I have NO IDEA why you feel the need to tell me what my GF and I think, and what my kids think and how we should manage/buy our music. I know what I need the software to do whether you think I should or not, I was just checking if anyone here had experience with things besides MonkeyMediaManager that had easier UIs because I want to buy a good songs/device/disk manager.
And my kids are in Tokyo and go back and forth to us to spend time with me on school breaks 2-3 x a year and its easier to load up their 2 devices than send them with 100s of CDs to burn and manage, they are very focused on school work when back in Tokyo. They have time to listen to music but babysitting iTunes burning is no fun it took me weeks and months on and off to burn my whole collection, why should they dupe effort? Their PC time is limited -- popping CDS in and out of iTunes and waiting 20 minutes+ or more for each to burn and eject is not a great use of their time...On Mon, Jul 1, 2013 at 8:20 PM, petefromflorida <petefromflorida@gmail.com> wrote:
Let your girlfriend and your kids get their own music. Chances are they don't like the same music anyway. If they do like some of your music then loan them a CD and let them make their own copies.
