Version: TuneRanger 0.9 build 270
Pros: It does do what it says (after a fashion, more or less), which is functionality that's overdue.
Cons: The interface is hardly intuitive (and I have a LOT of experience), and rather quirky. For example, by default it opens a log window that in my case (my machines and iTunes setup are not anything out of the ordinary) listed a ton of error messages. Close the window (to limit the "noise"), and it reopens it at the next stage of the operation. Then there's a lot of little quirks, like that the progress bar doesn't progress while it's running! Like it takes a long time (a minute or two) to start up before you can start telling it what you want it to do. And not copying folders that I had created, just the playlists that were in them. (That should have been a tip-off; if you create a playlist inside a folder, it must have a different name than any playlist outside of a folder, or TuneRanger will give you grief about it).
Lots of little stuff that can be annoying, but in the end, it *did* do what it was supposed to: Make the iTunes on Machine B look (mostly) like the one on Machine A. But I haven't yet tried to do anything 'special', just make the iTunes on a new MacBook Pro look like the one on the old iMac 24.
In the end, is it worth twenty bucks? Probably. But not a penny more, in its present condition! I should have known better than to buy version 1.0 without reading the reviews first.
