hello cfelliot
I use mc and for my ipod touch and itunes for over 1 year.
Both access the same folder. I have had no problems at this time.
with over 140,000 mp3 songs itunes music is to listen not to use (for me).
to syncronize my ipod, ok I start mcitunessyncronizer and the rest runs while I watch TV.
fear that mc destroyed data, I'm not.
after 10 years MC, still the first database, for years no program crash, not lost a song, .............
Secure your data and try it out.
