Switching from Winamp or iTunes

JimH:
I don't know what dynamic crossfade is.  MC has crossfade that can be customized a little.  It's in the track change section under audio settings.

MusicHawk:
UPDATE: For years, across various versions of MC, I've used a Winamp plugin called Piettro Pro's RockSteady, a configurable audio compressor that is far more effective than others I've tried (including what's in MC20) for what I need: MC playback that sounds like radio station playback.

In MC20, RockSteady works ... BUT its UI no longer is accessible. Fortunately, the default settings are OK, but I'd love to tweak it.

See the UI and get the plugin here, the author's site:

RockSteady's UI used to be available in MC, not sure when in MC's evolution it disappeared (MC18, maybe). It would be nice have access to the UI, which provides many adjustments. Solving its disappearance might help a range of Winamp plugins.

The author of RockSteady seems to have not touched it since 2000, so likely only MC could solve the UI problem.

Maeghaus:
I did not know until I looked at this post this morning that I was credited for revealing the XML import solution. I'm very glad to help JRiver in any way I can to make Media Center the kind of versatile program we all want it to be. I'm not a programmer but my background is in technical writing and I sort of think like a programmer that way. But anyway, I'm really quite humbled for the credit. I look forward to more adventures with JRiver and Media Center.

Sincerely, Tom (Maeghaus)  ;D

I had probably been using Winamp since its very first version (Until I discovered this amazing software) I can't really think of any issues you might run into. Just pointing it at your media files and done.....

The only thing I can think of are albums that came with .cue files and also tracks where the album was showing up twice, That was very easy to fix though.

I find these threads can take so many directions based on people's specific needs, that it becomes very difficult to get a bird's-eye view of the process.  I have been a Itunes ( windows ) user for many years, synched to an Ipod classic ( 160GB). My library consists of mostly alac files, so I don't have a humongous number of music files - approx 15,000. I'm a very new user of MC20, and am still learning how it works.

What I'm not clear on is how many steps are involved in migrating my Itunes library to MC - do I need to "export" the library from Itunes, then "import" into MC ( 2 steps ), or is it something different ?  I'm not overly concerned about preserving playlists, but I guess it would be a bonus. I don't rate music, and don't care about numbers of plays, etc. Of greatest concern would be the integrity of the Artist/Album info and cover art.

Do I also understand that it is possible to synch MC with my classic ?

Any help is appreciated.
