[Helpdesk] Is Mac really better for music?

[JILL BEYER]

I also do tons of music library management (am a deejay) - not so much 
downloading - I can't speak for what windows offers - and the 2 radio 
stations I've been around use windows based machines - but I love my 
mac - and love what I can do in terms of finding stuff using iTunes 
(which is available on either format)  I also do a bit of "garage" 
engineering (fading out extra stuff at end of songs, deleting the words 
that FCC gets upset about - plus other minor things. - there is some 
software by Rogue Amoeba that I believe is mac based only.   (Audio 
Hijack and Airfoil.) "Real engineering" can be done on either machine 
but I've only been around windows based machines for that. I suppose as 
with anything these days, it's whatever your friend prefers.  I think 
mac's are better machines - I switched to mac about 4 yrs ago - am not 
looking at switching back.  I would say speed and RAM (and lots of 
HDspace) are aspects to look at - rather than windows or mac

the tech heads probably have more in-depth views.

hope this is helpful
