I-Tunes-type software

I'm starting to move my CDs to hard drives and need some capable interface software. An I-Tunes type program will be fine, but I have one concern: if I choose to shuffle/ random play, I'd like a program with tagging sophisticated enough to keep the four movements of Beethovin's 5th Symphony together even though they are four tracks on the CD I ripped them from. I'd appreciate any suggestions AudiogoNers have.

Audirvana, Amarra, and Pure Music all work with iTunes. Of these I preferred Audirvana. All have a trial so you can check them out and see how they handle Beethoven. FWIW I have moved on to JRiver to get off iTunes altogether.

When using iTunes you can "join tracks" when you rip which will keep longer multi-tracks performances together. I use iTunes and Pure Music and like the results.

Zd542,

My first thought is Mac, so OS-X. Of course then there's the version to worry about. I've read recently that there is an audio advantage to staying OS-X 1.6 or earlier.

If I choose the dark side, then I'll be stuck with Windows 8 since I'd be buying a new computer.
