Itunes music downloads is a con! I spent a lot of money downloading remastered albums from itunes with my mac set to lossless…. I just discovered after buying new hifi
and listening to music that sound quality was poor on further tests discovered that music purchased from itunes is in fact low quality compressed sound files and not lossless or wav quality it is a disgrace we are getting such when you can buy CD for the same price as a itunes download. If you rip the CD your self you get lossless quality. When I complained to Apple they could not care less. PLease understand you are not investing in a music collection suitable for playback on anything other than low fi systems.

Apple, you and the idiots at oracle can be as high and mighty as you want. Us geeks see right through you and the sheep you control. I talk people out of apple on a daily basis due to your terrible company practices. Call it slander all you want, I will continue calling it facts. Douches.

iTunes default of reorganizing and renaming your music folders is the worst feature of the software. I am looking at someones computer that doesn’t really know about file structure and they have three copies of the same music library on thier computer eating up all of their hard drive space. There is a setting to not modify the file structure, but it isn’t the default, so people who don’t know any better will always have this nasty file structure with multiple spellings of the same band and multiple library folders. I will always use zune products due to this fact. It is a more file structure oriented interface and doesn’t totally mess up and make unnecessary copies of my music files and folders. Apple messed up on this one if you ask me.

Itunes can eat my shit. Any mp3 player made by Apple can eat my shit. And anyone who has a snappy comeback for my comment can eat my shit. Thank you.

As a PC user, iTunes is the first Apple application I have used. It is a totally unresponsive, clumsy, slow, unintuitive piece of garbage.

Its latest epic fail in a string of epic fails is that it can no longer connect to my iPhone. That would be bonafide Apple software not talking to a bonafide Apple device. Note that other (freeware) can see the iPhone…

You needed to get this right guys…it was your big chance to break into the PC market and you blew it. I am now researching alternatives with a view to banning Apple stuff from my box.

Bottom line: re-write iTunes as a proper Windows app without the fancy bells and whistles (that don’t work anyway) and save your reputation. Oh…and fix the updater so it doesn’t lose the library every time you update!!!

Itunes is ridiculous! Lack of support, installs all over the system, installs a host of unwanted, unnecessary, and problematic software and even after following clean uninstall instructions from the apple website, i can still see itunes integration entries in my registry. It would be great if I could set up my AV software to catch and block this plague by default.

Apparently there is a clean uninstall program is available and people are BUYING it. Apparently its so they can reinstall it properly… Maybe if people resort to going that far to remove it, maybe its worth removing for good.

I use WMP11 with the CCCP, and I’m pretty much able to play whatever media i come across on the net. It’s may be less compatible with ipods or the like, but plugins like SyncAudio or better yet MGTEK dopisp should take care of that if I ever cave and get one.
