How is it better than iTunes? I'm seriously asking. I'm always hearing people bitch about iTunes, but they never explain why.
P.S. Yes. It has been getting bloated, but people have been complaining about iTunes since day 1.
- earlz 13y agoI tried iTunes back in 2009 when I was trying to get some music off of an iPod. Worst user experience ever. When you have to watch 5 minute video tutorials on Youtube to figure out how to do something, your user interface probably sucks. Also, yes, the bloat and the constant updates to support the bloat.
- SG- 13y agoYou put music on your iPod or your remove it. It's not meant to bring around to your friends house and take all the music off of it and onto his computer. This is by design.
- alok-g 13y agoFor one, it failed to even install on my Windows 7 x64. I could never figure what was wrong after trying for an hour.
- illuminate 13y agoIf there was something akin to the (very well curated, if still missing most of my tracks) Smart Playlist option, I'd switch in a heartbeat.
- J_Darnley 13y agoIt lacks separation between the concept of a library and a playlist. Winamp has its Media Library which you use to browse and search your media. You then play what you want by putting it in the Playlist Editor. Whereas iTunes and every other media player just plays everything in your library starting with the file you clicked on. [EDIT] Others have covered bloat, install issues, and its updater.
- lurkinggrue 13y agoFull screen, slow clashing interface on windows and yes it is bloated. It is also an ecosystem that I would rather not be a part of. It also installs multiple services even if you don't use the devices they are there for. Apple tends to make crappy software for windows.
