Same here, you need registry tricks to remove Adobe and Java completely (or just reinstall the OS). Most software that had its 1st edition a decade or two ago is loaded with tons of legacy code and tends to run like shit.
Edit: OpenOffice vs MS Office is like Gimp vs Photoshop. It’s more lightweight, but feature-wise it’s constantly playing follow-the leader with its industry-standard rival. But it’s free so why not use it at home.
Itunes is shit, you say? I bet it has noting on AOL. I don’t know if anything got better since 1999/2000, but that shit should qualify as a virus.
How about the change from iTunes 10 to 11 where they made iTunes totally hang whenever you tried to add video to your library? I had to wait like 30 minutes on my laptop before videos would even show up. Or how everything gets put into “home video” for some reason?
I’ve since fixed this by refusing to install 11.
With respect to your friend iTunes IS a bug. Shit is shit, and even if you scrub off the top layer you still have shit underneath.
you could just go to “view show sidebar” to enable drag and drop features. i hate it to.
I replaced my iPhone with a Samsung Galaxy S4 last week. Easiest way to add music bar none, and expandable 64gb memory card alone makes it better.
I will never touch another Apple product again. You can have your pretty looking sophisticated nightmare.
LibreOffice is my personal favorite, but if you feel like paying for something, Corel WordPerfect is an option.
Why would I care? That one guy applauding every time the Windows Media Player controls showed up at Evo? That was me: I worked on that team for years and I’m glad for what it does well and sad for what it doesn’t well. I’ve also helped other player teams at other companies because I want to make things better.
If you guys want to grouse that iTunes is bad, I can’t help you. If you guys have specific and exact concerns (“performance importing my video library sucks” isn’t a narrow bug), I can maybe help with that. I’ve helped a small legion of specific problems get fixed in various players over the years, and thought I’d tentatively extend a potentially helpful ear here. But if your problem is just “Fuck that nasty shit”… that’s not asking a small favor from a friend, that’s asking for a rewrite and outside the bounds of what most reasonable developers ask of each other. This is just me trying to turn a conversation productive, as usual. =]
seems fine to me.
itunes was good during the mp3 player boom. for those with smartphones i’d reccomend setting up a rhapsody or spotify app. i’ve been using rhapsody for years no prob
I never had any problems with iTunes.
Then again, i’m on a Mac.
I also didn’t download the latest update.
iTunes worst software ever? Shit son what you know about Bonzi Buddy
iPhone Family
no mention of real media player? laugh.
That prehistoric fossil? I thought it was only a legend told by those people with tinfoil hats
There are a couple of ipod compatible flac players. I have no issue with itunes whenever I use it. But I never update and don’t allow the whole thing to sync.
If somebody can direct me to a better portable music player than a 160gb classic please do. Because afaik nobody is touching it. And ipod is the only apple product I have and most likely ever will get.
I dragged and dropped a folder into Itunes yesterday and it uploaded into it. What are you talking about?
Oh, you didn’t know? Now that Apple Radio’s a thing, downloading (ewww) isn’t vogue anymore. Itunes is just helping you come to that realization.
