&quot;Last time I used it, it still didn&#x27;t have a media library and dumped tens of thousands of songs into a flat list.&quot;<p>In the &quot;Advanced&quot; tab, which I&#x27;d expect any self-respecting HN denizen to go to first, there&#x27;s a checkbox for &quot;Keep iTunes Media folder organized&quot; which explains that it will &quot;[place] files into album and artist folders, and [name] the files based on the disc number, track number and song title&quot;. Mine is a very hierarchical structure - and I&#x27;ve had it for a decade. No flat list here.<p>&quot;You have to have that garbage installed on your machine if you own an iPhone. Not interested.&quot;<p>Not true, either - hasn&#x27;t been true since the advent of iCloud in 2011.<p>As to the codecs - it does do MP3 and AAC, which probably covers 95% of available content, though it doesn&#x27;t do Ogg Vorbis, Quo Vadis, or various others. For that sort of thing there&#x27;s VLC.
