iTunes sucks because they said so
Moderator:Æron
Yesterday there was a brief conversation between myself on one side and jent and Nickspoon on the other in the chat on why and how iTunes sucks.
They spouted out a bunch of terms and technical jargon about OGG and FLAC support as well as the program taking up too much space. All well and fine one would think.
Myself, I only responded with - does it play the music I have? Yes. End of story.
Although I guess I'm biased somewhat. I've never used the iTunes Store, I don't have any worries about running out of space even on my measly 30GB and I'm so used to listening to songs with inferior recording condition, making them have that 0.01 better sound quality by different programs/equipment means little to me.
It plays my music, I haven't had any problems, that's fine enough for me.

I rather like iTunes.
Astro> gforce's smiles can cure cancer in kittensgforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

same here. I play music in Winamp 2. I only use iTunes for putting music on my iPod, because despite all the people who will now try to enlighten me about the 3rd party software I already know about, it's seriously simpler to just use iTunes for syncing. the same goes with any type of software that doesn't cost money but still has 3rd party replacementsNever tried it, personally. I mostly use Winamp for music playing.
(coincidentally, Ruedii-X always tries to convince me that I should use trillian/pidgin because you can use aim and gtalk at the same time, even though every time I explain that I don't use gtalk, only aim, and that aim 6 is fully compatible with aim 6, unlike 3rd party software)

Also, I don't use itunes because I don't have an ipod. when I get an ipod, I'll still use Winamp Pro for music listening on the laptop and for ripping and burning, probably. itunes will be for uploading and syncing the ipod when I get it, and that's pretty much it.

Heh heh, I had someone ask me, flat out, "Why on earth would you ever get an MP3 player that doesn't play OGG?" Um, because I don't have any songs in that format, maybe? Seriously, where do OGG files even come from? Chickons? The Oaster Bunny?
OK that was terrible; sorry.
Mostly I just hate that I can't make iTunes stop playing at the end of a song. Ever. There is literally no option for that. The same goes for the iPods themselves apparently, so... yeah. Probably never getting an iPod. But on the plus side, I don't have to click the Eject button and go rooting through my entire library every time I want to play something else. (And I know what you're going to say. Winamp's Music Library window always gives me grief: every time I double-click a song, it copies my entire library into the Playlist window for no reason.)
