damn you itunes.

damn you steve...stupid seamless integration

<--not an apple fanboi. Just love this one product + ipod

1. Ran like crap in vmware and 3d acceleration was non-existant.
2. I don't have a modern CPU so Linux KVM was out of the question
3. linux players suck as far as I'm concerned. Amarok is neat, but JUST neat. Not intuitive at all for anything but CDs as far as I'm concerned. Banshee is the best contender so far, but it is so far behind itunes right now. They have play lists, just added podcasting, ipod/DAP support and internet radio integration, but still no DAP playlist
support. No way in HELL I am migrating my 100GB library to THAT. Not YET anyways...the developers were really nice and the project looks like it has a great deal of potential but it needs more time.

Just wanted to get that out of my system.

i personally cant stand itunes.... wmp11 for me is drastically better for music management. the only knock against it is the lack of true podcast support.

Amarok > iTunes

learning or migrating to linux is not something you do overnight. lots of people have dual installations (windows, linux) for months or years.

as for music players, amarok is my favorite from any platform, with the possible exception of j river music centre.














I think it is a good idea to separate your music files from your every day desk top. If you put then on a server machine (just a spare, low powered computer you might have lying around running windows or linux, plus a nice big disk drive) and access them over the network then you can experiment with different desktops and always have access to your music.

I was actually discussing doing just that with someone. Unfortunately my server isn't very stable right now, but once I fix some hardware issues that'll be what I do.
