Well, long story short...
I need a program that'll search my music folder (500+ albums organized by sub-folders for each album, folder.jpgs, and all tagged correctly) and take the folder.jpgs from each folder, resize and then embed them into the music files in that folder.
Any such program that'll do it?
Reason being is that I need folder art to be embedded into the music files so it'll show up on an iPod and coverflow. (adding 20KB~ album art to 12000~ songs will add around 300MB but no biggy, I has plenty of hundred GBz0rz)
The next one lol
I'll probably use Redchair Anapod, I hate iTunes. But this doesn't solve the album art problem I will face.
*edit*
Dw, tag&rename does it, not the first time I've discovered tag&rename does something that I've spent ages trying to do. Moogle <3's tag&rename. Now just to resize all the folder.jpgs using irfanview and tell it to over-write (I'll make a copy of the hi-res ones and called em front.jpg)
The interface lags. Stuff like resizing, and scrolling is jumpy... especially when it's doing something else, and booting it up... it takes like... eight seconds to appear. I really like the coverflow, visualizer tho. And as for being a library, it's nice and simple, so I guess it does it's job.. I just wish it did it faster. I bet it's a different story for apple mac users.
Considering the installer is almost 50MB too, I'd say it's a bit bloated for what it does.

The inclusion of 'free' DRM (as in, you dont need to pay to get it, since iTunes is free for a reason. anybody said trojan ) isn't considered an attractive feature here, and the fact that DRM isn't necessary to copy music to iPod doesnt excuse its existence in the installer.
I've tried several iTunes versions, and yeah, it is satisfying enough as a multimedia *player*, especially with its extensive library database. However, the days of windows Amarok and its bunch of non-DRMed music stores are coming.
The inclusion is Quicktime Player sure is a turndown. You can safely remove it from the installer, or even extract the iTunes installer and keep it somewhere.
Foobar2000 is the "new" musikCube -- meaning that it's awesome beyond awesome. Lightweight, fast, free and configurable. And combine it with the third-party extensions of your choice and you're golden. (foo_pod is the best iPod synching tool available right now for it.) Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed.
