I have only 4,000 songs in my iTunes Music Library. I pay attention to where I save and file things. For most people, who are *reasonably* attentive and organized, this program (roughly ONE THIRD the cost of an *new* OS, btw!) this is "over the top."

Somebody commented they found "5,000 exact duplicates" of one song! Oh god, can you say clueless? Somebody like that would probably have six cartons of milk --- all opened and half consumed --- in their refrigerator. Come on, really! Think about it.

If you pay *reasonable* attention to what the hell you are doing when you save or download (I didn't say "pirate" or "file share," optimistically), this program *might* be a good value if it were *free* (hell there are hundreds of useful, one-trick pony apps that are *worth* paying for but are *free*), but $30?

I'm glad I know how many cartons of milk are in my refrigerator. The "5,000 exact duplicate" comment provider? You need help! He'd argue, "well, I have '100,000 songs."

I'd argue, "yeah, and you probably haven't listened to more than 3,000 of them more than once," and "yeah, and how many dozen have you actually *paid* for?"

But, no, I wouldn't want to embarrass him/her.

Over Kill for Most People - media506

Are you an uptight Seattlite? A little of that good old fashioned pacific northwestern "passive aggressive" going on here me thinks...
Word of advice -if you are going to write a comment about the software, please remember to write a comment about the software.

You might not want to "embarrass him or her," but you've managed to embarrass yourself pretty thoroughly!

"Comments" here means "evaluation of the software," not "dime-store psychoanalysis of putative iTunes users,"
