I have always loved iTunes on my Mac and don't want to stop using it but lately it has been getting really bogged down on my iMac (G5 with iSight) and I have been wondering if there are any comparable media jukeboxes out there that my be a little less bloated? Kind of like switching from Quicktime to VLC. Any ideas? Thanks very much.
Got a tip for us?

Best iTunes alternative?

I heard that the Songbird app is pretty good.
Edit: Nope nevermind, it apparently requires an Intel processor. You can still try it if you want.

It's true that the official build is Intel only. However, there is an unsupported PPC version. http://www.the-eleven.com/tlegg/index.php?/archives/59-PPC-Songbird-1.0pre-for-MacOS-X-10.5.html It works well, but it isn't very fast on my eMac.
You could try songbird, but I don't think you will find it to be as good as iTunes. The best solution would be to get more RAM.
