I love Audirvana - and it DOES sound better than iTunes. But you must own all of the music in your library it it will not play in Audirvana. This is a problem for me because I pay for Apple Music $15/mo and just add all kinds of whatever I want to my library, but then I can't remember if I "bought it" or not and my library becomes extremely frustrating to navigate, which is a big turn off to me. So, if I'm in the mood to listen to older music that I know I own, its Audirvana and a joint. If I'm working and streaming and just background music, its ITunes. If I whip out the bong then you know I just warmed up my tube pre and am about to spin some vinyl!
Alternatives Software for iTunes on Mac
Been an iTunes user since its inception and quite satisfied with it with its overall sound quality in my system. Recently I have encountered some significant problems and have decided to look for an alternative to it. Have a large collection of music on a separate external hard drive in AIFF files, 2500 CDs or albums. Currently uses Apple airport express to wireless play music from my computer through a Rotes Integrated Amp and Monitor Audio Gold 100 speakers. I am looking for a high quality software to replace iTunes. I must to able to easy transfer existing files to the new software. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
