Is it a netbook? Those things are so hard to type on, everything is cramped

s_k · 02-16-2011, 03:55 PM

Exactly. But I could buy it for 50 bucks without a keyboard...
It's good as new... what would you do?

I'd say iTunes is still the best music player. The problem you're having is Windows.

I have both a Windows laptop and a MacBook Pro, and iTunes sucks on Windows 7 and is only ok on the Mac. The problems with it (for me) are that it's not very customizable and it's only compatible with a few file types (which is not a huge deal for me but it would be a nice feature). I store most of my music on VLC media player that I installed on the MacBook. I only use iTunes to store the music that I want on my iPod.

Yes. But it does look pretty.

Nicely put.

No... again, it's not very customizable. Many music players these days have entirely customizable skins so that you can make it look exactly how you want it to.

That's really how I would like iTunes to be. I don't care so much about minute details that can be customized, but it would be really nice if they just had some colours so it would match the theme of my computer.

not sure if anyone posted anything like this, but you can install pre-made foobar setups easily(5m tops).

I use DarkOne and have just added a few extra components.

a few useful ones:

foo_audioscrobbler(lastfm)
foo_dop(sync your iPod or w/e)

I prefer tagging my files with MP3Tag, it's just way faster.
