Oddly, I would have been more excited about a rebuilt iTunes than I ended up being about the iPad. iTunes is sorely in need of a remake -- nm

I *hate* iTunes at this point. It's become unusable for me. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 28, 08:32
yep. In a perfect world, they would scrap the code and start from the ground up. Itunes is an ugly, nasty beast. -- nm - decline Jan 28, 08:29 23
- I seem to be the only one who doesn't have issues with iTunes -- nm - Guigue Jan 28, 08:31 22
  - Nah. I prefer the old version, but I like it. -- nm - nubby Jan 28, 08:35 2
    - Your tape collection? -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 28, 08:35 1
      - How old do you think I am?! -- nm - nubby Jan 28, 08:43
  - My issues are all around usability (apart from the massive updates). It is not a very nice music manager IMO -- nm - oblique Jan 28, 08:34 8
    - I don't know anything else really. I've been using it since version 2 I think - Guigue Jan 28, 08:35 7
      - WMP 11 was a small step backwards for reasons I can't quite understand, but I've used it exclusively since 9 and love it. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 08:50 3
        
        I just don't think I could live without Genius on itunes -- nm - Guigue Jan 28, 08:51 2
        
        Genius seems really retarded to me - half the time it can't find anything -- nm - decline Jan 28, 08:52 1
        
        It works great for me, but I have a big library - Guigue Jan 28, 09:00
      - One feature that kills me is that it can't monitor a folder for new content. It's totally useless with media stored on a server. If I add files on - oblique Jan 28, 08:37 2
        
        Coudln't you use Library sharing for that? - Guigue Jan 28, 08:41 1
        
        There's lots of "workarounds" but seriously, that should be a basic feature of a media player -- nm - oblique Jan 28, 08:42
  - You have a Mac though, right? It loads very slowly on Windows, and is very "heavy". -- nm - Don Homer Jan 28, 08:33 4
    - i use it on a mac too. maybe that's why i don't hate it. -- nm - Andie Jan 28, 08:39
    - And it's been getting progressively worse. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 28, 08:34 1
      - I never go with the updates - never. seems to be okay for me - at least what I do with it -- nm - Epiphany Jan 28, 08:42
    - Ah, maybe that's why - Guigue Jan 28, 08:34
  - I don't have any issues with it -- nm - J Jan 28, 08:32 1
    - though I will switch to amazon if it ever comes to Canada -- nm - J Jan 28, 08:33
  - Neither do I. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 28, 08:32
  - now that it's stopped updating every 4 seconds, i don't mind either. for my needs, it works. -- nm - Andie Jan 28, 08:32 1
    - word -- nm - Beaker Jan 28, 08:34
