Itunes is the WORST piece of Software ever created

[Kanta-Kun]

iTunes works well for me on the Mac, but it IS a memory hog and I suspect this motherfucker is constantly connecting to the internet because I get lag playing online whenever it is open.

[Darksakul]

I use an itunes alternative sharepod for my aging 80gb iPod classic, back when iPods meant something.
I refuse to use iTunes or Quick time.

fwiw… I’ve got a friend on the iTunes team. If you have actual and specific bugs with repro steps against the latest version, I can potentially direct them the right way and get them fixed. I’ve gotten a couple bugs fixed so far. shrug

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.

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. =]

• I had an iPod Nano Video
• I downloaded and installed iTunes
• Everytime it took 10 minutes to boot
• I had to sync all my library every single fuckin time I put a new song on it
• iTunes on windows is slow as fuck
• Fuck iTunes

That’s what you get for having the sync automatically option clicked on your lazy fuck. BGBe a man for once in your life and take fucking control

It does.

go to MSconfig and keep it from initilizing at all.

Piece of shit is a piece or shit.

The fuck is Bonjour

You didn’t know how to use it. All you’d have had to do was change the setting to “Manually Manage Music” and you could add and subtract stuff as you pleased.

iTunes works great on a Mac. I just bought a PC though after about 10 years of using Macs and it’s a fucking nightmare, but I suspect part of it is Windows related. It used to be an awesome program back in the day, but it’s gotten bloated over the years. If I didn’t have an iPhone I probably wouldn’t use it.

[VGAddict]

Is Itunes worse than Windows 8?

[yah_yaahh_b_tch]

To be fair apple streamlines their products to reduce user error and user malice.

In the respect its just a matter of preference. I see windows as unprotected sex…feels better but a little more risky.

No, using Windows 8 is like having unprotected sex with someone who has AIDS then telling yourself “it’ll be alright” after.

Oh my god yes. iTunes is pure rubbish now, its bad enough that there alternatives being offered for the Mac.

[thurst]

itunes + quicktime = realplayer

2007. iPod nano 3rd gen, even with manual it was slow as fuck. Believe me. It was hell.

Now I continue with my story.

• My brother loses my iPod.
• Didn’t get angry because I bought an Android phone.
• Deleted iTunes (fuckin piece of shit)
• Never looked back.

gg

That story had a happy ending after the twist. NY Times best seller, imo.

I laughed, I cried, then I laughed again. 10/10

WTF are people doing with itunes?! I don’t understand why all of these featuretastic(?) programs for music exist. Am I the only person on Earth who downloads music, drops it in the program, put the updated library on my device, and walk away?

The problem is that if you own an Apple device and don’t download a 3rd party software then you’re forced to use iTunes i.e. “the program.”

[crucades]

ITunes is a godsend compared to Sony’s Music Unlimited, a tragic piece of shit of a programme. And on that note Sony making mobile phones has once again be revealed to be a waste of time considering just how slow and utter crap experia phones are damnit.

[Sarge0341]

Then start using Media monkey… end of problems.

Sony phones just let you drag and drop files over USB – just like all android phones. No software required. If you’re using extra software then you’re doing it wrong…

If you own an Apple product, this is what you’re signing up for. I have no pity.
