Oh yeah, and another thing. I dont know if you do a lot of ripping yourself but if you do (I personally Rip all my own cd's and save them to my hard drive as I listen to most of my music when I'm on my computer). There's a program called CDTag (www.cdtag.org) that is great for tagging your mp3's and adding .sfv and creating .m3u files for them.
I personally do this to all my music now after I was unluckily enough to have a hard drive FAT crash but was lucky enough to be able to recover most of my mp3's through a recovery program.
I wasn't able to check to see if they were all valid though or which ones were corrupted as I didn't have sfv files for them so nowdays I add sfv files to all albums I make so that I can check the integrity of them should I be unlucky enough to encounter any problems.

MediaJukebox will also fill in all the id3 data for you too when doing a rip. It looks it up on the internet for you. I use it to rip new cd's (I use EAC for older ones to make sure they're good quality rips if the cd is at all damanged or scratched) and mix it with LAME.
