iTunes blows heavily... especially if you have your music on a network storage then it is absolutely ridiculously shitty.

They need to somehow figure out how to work with a NAS. I would to keep my data on a NAS and not worry about it...

I have never understood the complaint that iTunes is "slow". It has always been a responsive app as far as I'm concerned.

Don't like it? There's always WinAmp!

I don't think it's slow on a fast machine. It's bulky. Last time I had a windows machine I remember it eating ram.

Good thing I went to linux and os x :D

Taskbar makes most sense on left or right side on this type of system. It takes up less pixels that way.

i tried moving my taskbar to the left side, but it doesn't work for me. I use an address toolbar to quickly launch websites from my desktop, but when the taskbar is vertical instead of horizontal, the address bar gets cut off and only a few characters fit.

I agree. It's always snappy on my system. And one app to manage everything is a plus in my book.

WinAmp licks the llama's ass. What is this, 1997?

Struck me as well. And what is the appeal of Itunes as a player?

What is it that the cool kids are using these days? I'm still using Foobar but that was the big thing years ago.
