iTunes for Windows!!
mushrooomprince:
The nice thing about iTunes is that if you have several thousand songs on your computer iTunes makes it really easy to find the songs you want fast. It plays audio, it burns CD's, you can even buy audio with it and burn it onto CD's. I'm not sure how well this works on your machine. But its very nice on mine :D

Dude, what the hell is wrong with you ? Did not the name "iTunes" clue into you that maybe it was for playing AUDIO ?
And whats this i hear you whining about it being a CPU and memory hog ? I thought you were running a 3ghz Pentium 4 ? Isn't that enough to run itunes while you do web, email, and chat at least ?
I'm running a 700mhz G4, and it does all those things while running iTunes just fine.

Oh yeah, it runs fine in conjunction with web browsing, chatting and E-Mail. However, I prefer using something lighter on memory and CPU cycles because I opt to listen to real music when I play games(instead of the game music). Every Megabyte free and every CPU cycle free counts when you play new, graphicly intense games. Granted, iTunes isn't a CPU hog unless you enable it's crappy audio enhancements(enhancements that aren't even really all that noticable) but regardless it loves to guzzle the Ram(just to play music mind you). The real kicker is WMP 9 uses 5-6x memory when it is playing audio. WMP uses over 4x less memory to play a 650MB video than it takes iTunes to play a 4MB music file.
The damn iTunes doesn't even have a taskbar player, it isn't skinnable, it is bigger and clunkier than WMP in full mode(WMP9's size can be reduced via a skin or minimize it to the taskbar player). Oh yeah, that WMP memory usage was with a playlist of 170 songs loaded and a visualization running. The iTunes memory usage I posted was with a playlist that only had 1 song and no visualizations were running.
And to think, some of you claim that WMP 9 is bloated and is a resource hog. Why don't you same people bitch when another app is alot worse with resource usage and does less than the player that you bitch about. Oh, I know why...because you are in love with Apple...they can't do wrong. They can't possibly be bad at writing code for their apps. :rolleyes:
WMP 9 uses less resources than iTunes and it does more than iTunes can do.
Anyways, Shut the fuck up unless you have something useful to say to me.

i play games all the time running iTunes in the background, though I'm not using the windows version
I'm sure it will much better anyway
psyjax:
well in windows it may hog memory, buts a damn site better music app when it comes to sorting playlists and such. I don't see the hit cuz I got a ton of RAM. In anycase OSX manages the memory better than windows.
AS far as not playing video, thats the schizophrenic plague alot of windows apps have. They try to be all in one swiss army knives, instead of doing one thing well.
Meh... I still like it better than WMP.

I use the Mac version of iTunes at school occasionally, but I never really had the chance of using it to it full potential. I wouldn't want to disturb the students, see.
I am using the Windows version right now. I love it!
