Shit I meant to type Winamp

I still use Winamp 2.95 as I mentioned, from 1999/2000 or so haha. It's lightweight and to the point, but also a good video player. The new ones were too bloated for me. If you come from itunes, you probably wont notice any bloat.
Even that one supports FLAC though: flac-plugin-for-winamp-2-and-winamp-5

There's lots of great plugins for it, even ones that let you load VSTs.
Also recommend this for pitch/tempo control: http://www.winamp.com/plugin/pacemaker/12689
(for older Winamps: http://www.surina.net/pacemaker/old/index.html)

used to be diehard winamp user now i couldn't live without foobar

[WhosZena]

Thank you for the suggestions, downloading them all

[Ba-zinga]

i havent heard of any of those programs...maybe i should try them out

i jsut use the Zune player...but i have a zune so idk. it's pretty easy, just tell it which folder on your computer all your music is going to and it automatically uploads it to the zune player. never really saw the need for anything else. burns CDs easy as hell too.

Always used winamp, then recently used foobar, but winamp has the mmd3 skin and transparency.

Foobar is probably a bit more functional, but im shallow so i go on looks

winamp:


foobar


you can get foobar to look better than that im sure.

They're both free.

In all seriousness, I don't understand how anybody couldn't like iTunes.

[jameshk]

What about for those of us on mac?

Just stick with iTunes tbh. It runs a lot better than the Windows version and you can get FLAC support for it as well as a bunch of custom scripts too. I've tried some alternatives, but none of them stacked up.

Well? Why? On a PC I could see some software issues arrising with WINDOWS because Microsoft sucks hot &ss, but not iTunes itself. Esp not on a Mac... Runs clean.

Sharepod is the shit if you just want a simple drag and drop program for your ipod. Winamp since I'm cool and I don't use an ipod.

[joeki]

I just don't use anything by Mac. That company hasn't contributed a single thing to anything. Well, yes, a more expensive alternative to windows.

It would be an issue with Apple being so proprietary all the time. If everything else runs fine on an OS, except proprietary software then yeah. I never installed itunes, but I've had to fix a few computers with it and it was a huge shitpile that took forever to do anything and needed constant updates. Maybe it needs to be set up proper, but most people don't know how. It just seemed far too bloated for me to ever want to bother.

[ketamine]

but most people don't know how.

This, from my experience, is entirely the problem. Not the software.

*Except for Zena (OP) She probably has good reasons.

Used to think this aswel, but they make a fine computer actually. Compared to my first laptop it has
less driver issues and it's battery lasts longer.
