iTunes

Hey folks,

What are you guys' opinions on the iTunes program? Do you use it? Do you not? Why? Do you have any beef with it?

I'm thinking of switching over to iTunes (mainly for it's famed superb quality of handling music libraries), but also for the music downloading capability.

Speak!

With all the kinks worked out of iTunes 7, I would definatley go for it. Just drop in your library and tell it find information. Has alot of options too, and if your going to use the music store. The DRM is already friendly; but you can find DRM strippers. Also. iTunes can share music on your network.

It does not suck.

It is good.

long live jobs!

It is one of the only things Mac has done that I like. I fully recommend it.

Mac has done other good things... quicktime, the personal computer revolution, iDisk, provided something for microsoft to copy to make aqu- I mean Aero.

I'm not a fan. It can be usefull and I have it on all the time at school becuase of the glorious program called ourTunes that lets people download iTunes streamed music.

I just use winamp. I hear that Mediaplayer 10 is kinda nifty.

Yeap. It's pretty good for managing large libraries of music.
And I do use the download service.

But also I got a 10gig Ipod :O

I use iTunes. One of the only thigs from apple I really care for. I love iTunes Store too. I would say go for it, but only if you plan to use an iPod, because thats the only thing compatible with the iTunes store.

Not neccisarily.
Itunes has a nice work around for that.
Just burn a CD using Itunes, then rip it to MP3

DRM-be-gone.

wouldn't lose some quality in that process (as well as waste CD-Rs)?

I personally use the iTunes store to buy a lot of music, because I can't find it anywhere else. I just strip the drm with QTFairuse 6 first.

When you strip DRM can you still pop it on an iPod?

I know nothing about ipods and iTunes.

Heavygain · 2006-12-17, 10:53 AM

WMP11 Is really really sweet. It has a music purchase thing in it now, frankly its one of my favorite programs.

Yea, all stripping the DRM does is change the format from Apple's exclusive .m4p to (in the aforementioned program's case) .m4a, so for example, I can play the files in other media players. I like having all my files in foobar personally.
