Swinsian looks great especially if you have a lot of Music encoded in formats not easily supported by iTunes like FLAC. But please note that for most users Swimsian will NOT replace iTunes. From the developer's FAQ: "Does Swinsian replace iTunes? For managing and listening to the music on your Mac, and for users of older iPods, Swinsian replaces iTunes. If you use an iOS device you will still need to use iTunes for syncing of videos, books and apps as well as backups, or to add music to the newest devices." So it looks like you will still have to import your Music into iTunes if you are using a newer iPod of iPhone. If you have music files in FLAC (or another losseless format NOT supported by iTunes), I prefer just converting the files into Apple Lossless and using iTunes using XLD etc. You will not loose any audio quality from converting from one lossless format to another.
