So after an 8 year hiatus with Windows I've back with Mac for now. And I'm generally excited. However there are a few transitions I'm still uneasy about, one of the main ones being switching from using windows explorer to the mac finder. For better or worse, I'm pretty obsessive compulsive about organizing files, and I'm very used to seeing a hierarchical tree of files on the left of the split explorer screen, and the contents of whatever is selected on the left displayed on the right (including details like size, last edited, etc.). This is very useful for moving files between folders / drives / partitions, etc. As far as I can tell, the mac finder's "columns" view isn't as pleasing as what I'm used to, although maybe I'll get used to it. Is there something I'm missing, or maybe some other great 3rd party app. available?
My other concern is similar actually. I'm also pretty used to the way I can view and tag my music in the wonderful and free Mediamonkey for windows, which is similar to explorer in that it offers the split double view of your files. Itunes is pretty, but I find it lacking when I want to view folder views (mirroring the actually organization I have used on the discs, which is not completely reflected in the tag info). Is there a 3rd party app like Mediamonkey for OS X (fingers crossed)?
Thanks!
