Frustration

I'm trying to clean up some music on my iMac, to keep bitrate and sampling consistent, etc. In my experience, I've found MusicMatch to be the fastest way to resample MP3s, with its built-in converter. Problem is, the latest version doesn't work on Windows Vista. That's the first problem.

So I decided to see whether the new MusicMatch works on Vista (i.e. some crap called Yahoo! Music Jukebox). It does (and looks pretty scary), but inconveniently enough, after "migrating" from MusicMatch to Yahoo!, the converter is gone.

Then I spent most of the evening looking for decent converters. There aren't any.

So my laptop, which has a working version of Windows 2000, is now running MusicMatch 9 Plus and converting the files the old-fashioned way. It's very time consuming, but at least I can trust the output. And fortunately, when I sync the files back to iTunes, no ID3 tags are lost.

For the record, Steven, MP3TagEditor sucks. So does WinAmp.
