i've actually begun trying out XBMC and i do like it better for it functionality,the way it allows me to separate my movies,tv shows,and all that and separates out tv shows by seasons.thats exactly what i wanted.the only problem is there is no minimizing XBMC!that kinda sucks!i mean,i guess i kinda understand why,its not meant to be a light media library,its very robust...but it'll be perfect for my htpc.im stoked for that,at least.
