The only thing I miss about windows, is the way windows media player organized my music. If there was an artist, that featured multiple people on it, windows media player kept the album as 1 album, iTunes makes it multiple ones for each artist that is featured. That really annoys me. But what can you do? Other than that, the mac is where home is!

I select my sound folder, press return, and VLC will make a playlist with those sound files for me. Think of this as the Winamp on steroids for Mac OS X. There is VLC Media Player for Windows, but accessibility leaves a lot to be desired in my personal opinion. So I use Winamp on the Windows side.

I was running xp and would’ve had to get a new pc in order to run windows 7. the only thing agrivating me so far is that I can’t use “open with” for sound folders, only for files. I kind of miss webvisum in Firefox too. On Jan 5, 2015, at 1:20 AM, christopher hallsworth <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Hi all, Well I have some excellent news! I did it! I have switched to Mac and iOS devices full time! Haven't used my Windows laptop since New Year and haven't even used Windows in a virtual machine created with Vmware Fusion at all yesterday! Anyway just thought to let you know I have made the switch. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
