Useless since you can manage multiple library with just one keystroke…
you just have to press "option" (Alt) on your keyboard to select the library you want to use (just like in iPhoto)
so why spend money for a feature when Apple give it to you ?

Works with 10.4.8 & 10.4.7 and iTunes 7.0.1. Upgrading was easy. It's always worked just fine. I'm a happy customer.
First, the 5.x installer will not attempt to uninstall an older version. Since the new version is an app and not an iTunes script, you must go to <home>/Library/iTunes/Scripts directory and drag the original "iTunes Library Manager" script out of the folder and restart iTunes. Then the old ILM will no longer appear in the iTunes script menu for accidental launching. (I would like to see the author provide a new script to launch the 5.x app from within iTunes for convenience. Not all of us are Applescript geniuses like him. ;-] )
Note that if, like me, you also used the author's AppleScript Extras 4.x scripts for create/delete/export/import functions you should remove them from this folder as well.
Which brings up my second note. It appears in 5.x that you lose the import/export between libraries functionality of 4.x. A bummer for users like myself that I think should have been noted.
Third, be forewarned. The "New" library button does not have a cancel button. If you decided to check it out as an option, you will find yourself forced to go through the process of creating a new library. (Which you could then delete but what a pain.)
Overall, I would not discourage others from "upgrading" for $10. But hopefully some of my observations will be helpful to others in making that decision.
