Media Manager in Windows 8???

I just received a computer for the holidays with Windows 8.

On my old PC was Media Manager, which I used to use to stream my music in the overnight so I didn't have to do much with my PC. I installed Media Manager on my new computer and it keeps shutting down after so many entries into my library. I restart and come back to only half of my stuff loaded, and when I go to progress further than I was before it crashed out, it it comes back up with the crash again.

Did I do something wrong? Or is this just not compatible with Windows 8 just yet?

Let me better explain this part.
If I'm loading, using these bands and artists as an example, King Crimson and then try to load Rush, Media Manager crashes out into an error and shuts down. I bring it back up and it only has 4 of about 27 subfolders of Rush loaded in, and then when I add the remaining 23, it takes maybe 8 to 10 before it crashes again. Same thing when I load Ted Nugent and follow it up with The Who, and Yes just crashes my program out after one folder.
I never had this problem with Winows 7. I had the "Switch to..." window problem. You can't say that my library is too large, because I had over 2500 tunes in my library before and I was still adding.

The Media Manager download page mentions these requirements: PC running Windows XP with SP3 or better or Vista (32-bit) or Windows 7,

When is Verizon going to get with the times and support Microsoft's current operating system?

I know that some things that are out there, like the Amazon Kindle Reader, when I downloaded it so I could read my ebooks, it worked well and it's only recommended for operating systems upto and including Windows 7. They DO have an app for Windows 8, but the app is busted, so I downloaded the actual program.

However, not everything, as I am finding, is working on Windows 8 if you get the Windows 7 version, like Media Manager. I am really missing my music to sleep to at night, but I'm going to guess that they are trying to push you to listen to your radios, use your internet connection to listen to radio stations online, or listen to Music Choice channels, which are ok, but don't always play my kind of music. (I think in the past week, I've not heard King Crimson, Rush, Styx, Yes... on the Classic Rock channel. Can we say they are jaded in the views of Classic Rock??)
