I finally gave up on iTunes ....
March 13th 2010 01:49
Recently, my hard drive crashed and burned to a crisp. I was forced to re-install everything from scratch. I process that turned out to be both a blessing and a curse.
Curse, cause it freakin' took all day and was a complete pain in the ass.
Blessing, because I was able to free up my computer from a ton of superfluous stuff and it now runs faster and leaner.
On thing I am glad to be rid of is iTunes. I've always hated this program but had sunk too much time into getting it just right to abandon it. It always seemed to have restrictions: finite number of iPods, libraries associations, song protection, slow, auto-updates, ... you name it. Very frustrating.
A quick google will tell you I am not alone:
The Top Ten Reasons ITunes Sucks
iTunes sucks and would like an iTunes Alternative
iTunes sucks. There I said it.
However, since I had to start over anyway, I figured it was the perfect time to try an alternative. There are several out there (Songbird, Window Media, etc.) but I opted for Winamp.
So far, I am very happy with it. The interface takes some getting used to. Finding a good skin was difficult. But I think it is a keeper.
I'll report back later once I had some more time with it.
