I have everything organized in folders, though.

What didn't you like?


I'll be the first to admit it has it's issues.

I haven't heard of anything that would lead me to switch from iTunes.

Where are you getting that from? I have never had any more there then iTunes (trying to install a browser? come on).

For myself, it is whatever works for my mp3 player.

That was the biggest non-issue ever. It's actually hilarious. Sure, they should have left the checkmark unchecked, but man was it overblown.

Well, it falls into line with just about anything I have seen from winamp, just unclick what you don't want.

It was bloated. It threw ads at me. It installed crap on my PC I didn't want or need and had to nuke after I had uninstalled iTunes.

In short it was a typical Mac product. :)

Like macs are anywhere close to PCs in terms of bloatware.

I find pretty much every Mac app to be bloated. Filled with frilly crap and shiny graphics I don't need.

Nothing on my PC is bloated because I make sure it's that way.

iTunes.

So you are not running vista, got it.

Please, do tell.


And yes, for the record, I agree about iTunes and it's "Ministore" intrusions.

I won't argue that Windows doesn't have its fair share of bloatware, but I just wanted to mention how much I despise Quicktime. WTF should I have to install a 22-meg chunk of software just to play one type of video file? That, plus the fact that you're actually installing the entire set of "pro" software that's just locked down until you buy it, pisses me right off. I almost hate it as much as RealPlayer. Grr.

I haven't used iTunes enough to know if I hate it, but I've never had any issues with WinAmp. The entire thing is only a few megs, though I do get annoyed by the stuff you have to uncheck upon install.
