iTunes Switcher1.0.1

BE WARNED: I only knew the folllowing after I launched the program and it started copying my whole music library (8.42 GB) to a new folder it had created in the "Application Support" folder in my User Library. I figured it was doing so, because I could hear my Mac chewing on something. It was only after hearing this and watching space of my hard drive disappear one GB at a time, that I read the following in the help files iTunes Switcher installed on my Mac: "Additional Tips To save hard drive space, especially with large collections, you may wish to go into iTunes Preferences, in the "Advanced" tab, and deselect the option to "Keep iTunes Music folder organized." If you allow iTunes to organize your music, then the process of duplicating your library will also create duplicates of your audio files, doubling the amount of space they take up on the disk. On the other hand, if you organize your collection manually, anywhere outside of the "~/Music/iTunes" folder, then the files will not be duplicated by iTunes Switcher." I would suggest using Libra instead: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/13728 and the develper's site, which has a helpful explanation of the difference between Libra and iTunes Switcher: http://www.roydesign.net/libra/

I love this program, it works great now that the developer fixed the initial problem.

This software is potentially VERY useful! Having gone this far in developing it, the developer ought to finish the job by fixing its various flaws, even if this means more $$ to prospective users.

I've been looking for an application like this for some time to switch between different iTunes libraries on my TiBook, an external FW drive, and a server. The app launches OK but when it asks me if I want to duplicate my existing library I click on OK and nothing happens. No library appears in the "listbox". Very frustrating after my hopes were raised.

The developer has stated in one of the threads in these reviews that this new version (1.0.1) fixes the 'crash on launch' issue. it does launch for me (iBook 900MHz, OS X 10.3.2)

Crashes every time you launch app. Great concept, hope it works soon! Please fix.

Downloaded it tried opening it then nothing! Everytime I try to open it but it only flashes in the dock. Really was hoping that it would work! Too bad.
