I think calling itunes crap because you couldn't get it to work in your particular set-up is very unfair. This is a common problem with end users, if I can't get it to work it must be the machines/programs fault. The application works for millions of people of which I am one.
The idea that Apple or itunes wants to control your music is also nonsense. The only control Itunes exerts is over DRMed tracks. itunes is really a database program that expects it's data(music tracks) to be in a library at a user definable location in a particular format. I think all database programs are the same. You can of course store tracks anywhere else on your system but they won't be accessible to itunes until you add them to it's library, exactly the same as slimserver. You could not control anything from itunes as your set-up was not correct, this was not the fault of itunes. I myself can rip (in a number of formats),retag, copy, burn, duplicate and re-encode tracks from within itunes. I can create and delete smart and normal playlists. I can download podcasts free and buy music if I so wished. Not bad for a free application. I don't even go near the track-files themselves. That's all done for me by itunes. I couldn't care less whether you use itunes or not but to castigate an application because of your inability to operate it is unfair. -- Steven Moore ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven Moore's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=104 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34235 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
