Programming in code-behing goes very well, as long you don't have to interact with the 'HTML'. I will take many hours, night to get a project done. Asp.net is killing my business.

I'm a real bastard child - I develop in Coldfusion. My company decided to go the .Net route about a year ago (for political reasons as well) and I've been forced to develp in C#/.Net. Not a day (more like a minute) goes by that I don't think to myself "I could be doing this faster and better" in Coldfusion. What makes people think .Net is superior? What kool-aid are they drinking? I'm also learning from a "seasoned" .Net developer and find his inability to produce decent code outrageous. I got to get ahold of that koool-aid because I'm going crazy without! Good to hear there are others. I feel your pain. I’m a real bastard child — I develop in Coldfusion.

In some ways, ASP/PHP is better because there is no black box and if you actually know what you are doing with HTML/HTTP/JS, you can do it logically without jumping through invisible hoops.

It sounds like you messed up that step. Feel free to contact me with more details. Double-check that the paths to your music files (as specified in the new XML file) are correct.

That SO didn't work. I followed all of your steps but it isn't finding any of my music. So now I have empty playlists in there and a mess of a music folder. Sad face. Well. That SO didn’t work.

When I did my library merge all the artwork seemed to disappear, so I just let iTunes retrieve most of it again, and grabbed the rest myself. If you wanted to go down this route, you could use something like TuneUp to automate the grabbing of the artwork for you. Hope that's of some help!

Quick question tho'. Have you found an easy way to merge 2 "album artwork" folders? I've been saving my library on an external server from 2 different computers, but the artwork files that i added always remain on the computer in the music folder.
