I agree with Stephen on this one, though I think he should be clearer and say iTunes is the culprit in the trashing, not the PC. I have long believed iTunes is a poor choice if you have a) a large music directory and b) are not made of money.There are other ways of collecting…like this.
Christmas shopping alert: you can get ipods for cheap over at Apple’s refurb site.

I knew you’d comment on this one ;)
Entirely possible it’s the operator, or the operator’s dislike of iTunes and Apple’s way of organizing things. But for now I still like Winamp better, which is smaller, faster, and less of a resource hog. For now.
I suppose, I tend to be a bit predictable on my comments…
Yeah, Winamp! Cool. I say go for what you like and use that for sure.
I used to use winamp exclusively early-on (and macamp) but switched very early on to the predecessor of iTunes (when it was called soundjam–before Apple purchased it and hired the developer that created it) which was better in many many ways–which lead to an easy progression to iTunes. So I might be a bit jaded.
Plus I think I am a bit more used to Apple’s methodology and am willing to modify a few behaviors to their ways of getting tasks done.

I have 40,000+ songs (250GB) currently in iTunes and have absolutely no trouble with it. Granted, it is a little bit slow, but that could also be due to my 7+ year old computer that it is running on.
Also, interesting that the few times I have had trouble with the iTunes Music Store, I have emailed a customer service rep and was refunded missing credits within days.
Maybe the problem is not with the computer, or iTunes… but rather the operator.
