I cannot recommend Jinzora myself, I tried the latest
release and I cannot get it to scan all of my music
(190 GB) of mp3s. It is also terribly slow compared to
Netjuke with only about 1/4 of the tracks in the DB
versus Netjuke.

I really like the interface, but it just doesn't cut
the mustard for true power-users/consumers.

We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true.
