Music Management Software 2009 ??

I have a music collection that I have to organize, as I would think most collectors do and would like some feedback. I am looking at different options for Music Management Software, happy to pay a fee for the right Software. Is creating my own excel spread sheet the only way and buying one of these non audiophile programs to manage the stored music, like OrangeCD, really the best way to go?? Is there one that actually works for Audiophile Music collectors? example XRCD, SCAD, DCC, MFSL I want to categorize my CD Collection for organizational breakdown purposes with software, record all for mp3 library (on separate hard drive) for PC listening and eventual main system listening. I bet there is solution I just can't find, I have looked.

Okay,all sounds good, I have been searching around looking for the best way to do this. I like the way Music Collectors looks form an aesthetic point. Recording the music in lossless FLAC sounds like a smart or best way to go,foobar2000 looks cool and I will be considering it.

Does anyone have any input on CATraxx 200 or Media Monkey?

itunes not supporting FLAC is unfortunate, any comments or ways around this? I was planning on getting an iphone soon, the Palm Pre is not for me after evaluation.

You know, we go through an enormous process to build our music collections and one would think in these days of so many 30 year old software engineers there would be a simple method with a small amount of advertising doing this for us, itunes not allowing FLAC is a bummer. I need this to be simple for others in the household to operate as well as myself...
All your input is greatly appreciated!!

Point taken on Apple, I have been reading threads on Steve Hoffman Forum about FLAC and all the options too, a lot to take in.

Foobar2000, Squeeze box, FLAC are all new to me. As will be a PDA, I do have a nice collection of remastered CD's and with technology being what it is and this being 2009 I thought it was time to dive in and have my music on a hard drive for audiophile home playback and travel.

What about J. River Media center?

I appreciate the input!
