It has done that to a few people... not sure why. I'm sure glad it didn't do that to me! I spent forever organizing my music.

iTunes lets you listen to a 128Kbps stream of DI but you can't at di.fm unless you pay!

what are you talking about you can listen to 128kbps streams in winamp from there

It's actually 96kbps. Click on it to play and it will change to 96.

Not anymore. They changed that a few weeks ago.

No problems for me.. it left the folder structure intact, thank god.

Now i have to give all those Files names that make sense. Never realised I had so many "Unknown Artists"

There is the play/pause button... but i don't think there is a stop button. Huh. I've never noticed that. Guess I never missed it either sense I've been using iTunes for about a year now.

wow! i just downloaded it and it RULES. i can FINALLY get rid of that bloatware POS mmjb. the itunes integration with my ipod (on windows) is so seamless it's lovely .

one small gripe: i really like mmjb's feature that automatically tagged songs for you. i wish itunes had something similar.

same here. I don't know why it got over 30M for some people.

Ok, here's the question. I have some files with no Id3 tag, only the file name. Is there any program out there that can look at a file name and automatically add the Id3 tag with artist/song's name to the file? I have about +500 files like that, it's gonna be a nightmare doing ID3 manually for all of them
Thanks

Only gripes I have so far is that you can't see a playlist on the minimized mode, and it always takes up a space on the taskbar with no taskbar module like WMP9 has.

There's a program called "Tag & Rename" that will create ID3 tags from the filename.

Heh, it works with the audio control buttons on my Microsoft keyboard.

I think winamp with a few of my favorite plugins is better.
I mean I generally prefer winamp over any othe rmp3 player simply because it has tens of thousands of plugins, so I know if I look hard enough, I'll always find one that does what I want

I just searched for ID3 tag and found a thread about it. I am trying Musicbrainz right now. It identified about 80% of the songs. I will try Tag and Rename on the rest

that's what I thought too. It's not like you going to listen to MP3s while you are playing games and "need" that RAM.
