I didn't decide there was a problem here, I was stating what someone told
me, and asking someone to conferm or deny it, and possibly give me some more
info here, seeing as how I'm new to the system entirely.

Lol,
So you don't like something that you don't even know if it really exists or
not? May I suggest actually trying it to see if there is really a problem
before deciding there is a problem? :). I'm not trying to be a jerk but,
maybe your friend was in error or, the problem is just happening on their
machine.

Ok, someone please correct me if I'm wrong here, but someone told me after
I'd ripped a bunch of CD's to my computer with the intention to cut and
paste them to my external drive, that in doing that you'd get some sort of
error message where Itunes is concerned, however he didn't tell me what it
was, only that if I remember correctly that it was a library issue. Is
this true?
This is one of several things I at this point really don't like about
the software.

Well, to speak frankly, I will tell you; at least from my point of view.
With regard to ITunes as a player, (and mind you I speak here strictly in
terms of the layer itself), I can't argue with it. Well, almost.
ITunes doesn't do ENQ. Okay, there's the ITunes DJ thingie I grant you,
but, I can't find tracks easily with that, and, besides, I don't want to
be adding tracks and files to the ITunes Library all the time just to make
them easier to find. Now, we come to the real issue. ITunes is so damn
library dependant. The ITunes library really sucks! Let's say I have the
song "Life Without you" and it's in the .m4a for mat. Well, I have it on
my hard drive; but, when I add it to my ITunes library, it creates a
duplicate file of exactly the same size. That means I've got two copies
of the file where as I only wish to have just one. that's a waste of disk
space. The ITunes library is so cluncky it's beyond belief. I have
numorous loose files which are not tagged and which I have no wish to add
to the ITunes Library thus making unnecessary duplicates. Much better, so
far as I am concerned, to have a layer which has ENQ and which can be
triggered directly from the finder window. In short, you locate your
first file in the finder, and, you can ENQ that file in to your player
directly. Then, the next file and the next and so forth. The player
would also allow you to directly control the cross fading between files
and no lag time at all between files. That's just the start.

Hi donna, Just about anything is preferable to ITunes, but I think
right now it's just the novelty of the thing for us windows switchers
who have fond memories of winamp for windows. Especially before it got
bought out by AOL. These days I get my windows clients to start out on
the KM player since winamp is now chuck full of bloatware.
I'm not tempted to try it myself since vlc does what I need but winamp
for the mac has been too long in coming for sure. Hopefully the great
pioneers on this list will convince AOL to take an accessible direction
with winamp development and then we'll have yet another option.
Best,

Hi all,
I haven't really followed the winamp thread, but I'm curious as to why
anyone would go to all the trouble that seems to be involved in using
it? Is there some reason that it's preferable to iTunes?
Cheers,
Donna
