I use iTunes only for my iPod Classic, but I want to use media go or Media Gallery by Sony. It's just that Apple has everything on iTunes. I just want to use something diffrent.

I just uploaded a couple of CDs into Itunes, each folder labelled appropriately...Itunes just dumped all 150+ songs into the same "unknown artist" folder, and has no way of autodetecting albums /headdesk I hate it, but its all I can use

I am forced to use it, but I am not a big fan. It's painfully slow.

Try Media Monkey it has a bit of a learning curve, but it syncs my apple devices flawlessly. though you can't sync apps obviously.

I use it because I have two ipods, and I guess it's okay just to store my music library there. I don't know what I would use if I was not using iTunes.

I don't like it, tried it once or twice. I hate how it tries to update and do all this stuff "automatically" (without your permission is how I see it, really).

Whats wrong with just folders full of music?

It's easier to just plug it in, come back in a few minutes and unplug it. Plus playlist management and tag editing are better with an all in one player.

Yes, but be warned, Media Monkey is highly configurable and feature rich, which may overwhelm you to the point of frustration.

I only use iTunes, because I have an iPod, although I do listen to the radio from there time to time, and it has some cool stations there.

I dislike iPods and iTunes immensely. The only reason why I still have it installed is for my trance podcasts. Otherwise porting music and configuring it to my liking is always a major pain.

I don't understand the hate.

You LEGALLY download stuff with it. It has a very good MP3 ID tag editor. It has a nice UI and interface.

People just being haters I guess.

It doesn't work properly. I've been on their forums for help a few times to get things sorted.

That happened to all my Windows computers. I have a gut feeling, Apple makes all their software run smooth on Mac but laggy as on Windows. I have iTunes on both Mac and Windows laptop and it takes around 30 secs to open iTunes on my laptop and it's so slow. On my Mac, it's almost instant.

No one could be guiltier of that than Microsoft. Have a look at Office for Mac and tell me it isn't a joke.

lol how are you forced to use it? I tried it a few times in the past because of hype and the slick apple eye candy, but it was pretty sucky. I'm sure foobar, winamp, mediamonkey or even wmp can be used with your ipods.

It's slow, they force you into installing awful Quicktime and some other junk, it's not very configurable or customizable and It can only sync to apple products, forcing me to use two media players.

Mine takes like 2 seconds to open. It's quicker than Firefox, for example. And what kind of customisation do you want? Winamp let's you mess around with stuff but it looks a mess. And you don't need all the bells and whistles in the end.

I use it to update my ipod, but that is as far as I go with apple products. We are already forced to use MACs in uni so that is enough torture as it is :( Also ituns is quite good for podcasts.

Themes, extentions, more settings. Like all apple products, you get what they give you.

It depends on the speed of your pc. It runs alot quicker on my gaming rig as apposed to my laptop, which takes forever to open, and is laggy when it does, especially when I try to open the itunes store.

Mine automatically imports every song from a CD.. and every song is synced to my iPod by default.

Mine automatically imports every song from a CD.. and every song is synced to my iPod by default.

With some albums it decides to select a song and put it as part of a compilation. Then it doesn't sync unless you manually change that. And if you read the help forums you can find all kinds of issues with iTunes. I've had a few. Also seems to be missing quite a bit of album art. Which is not cool. My Zen was much easier to sync.
