The Jackster is getting grouchy...

[Hungary Jack]

Any Itune user knows that it's a memory hog. So I don't run it in the background. But the software has this annoying habit of setting the multimedia file program defaults to Itunes.

I often retrieve voicemail messages from work via my home PC. The voicemail is a .WAV file, and I'd much to prefer to listen in Windows Media Player rather than iTunes. No matter how often I set the .WAV defaults for WMP, Itunes resets them.

So here goes.

SCREW YOU ITUNE NAZIS! QUIT F***ING WITH MY PC OR YOU WILL GET THE BOOT. I AM GETTING REALLY PISSED ABOUT THIS. LEAVE MY SH** ALONE, YOU ARROGANT PIGS! THIS IS NOT COOL. STOP TRYING TO TELL ME WHAT I NEED AND WANT. YOUR HUBRIS IS BEYOND CASUAL REPROACH.

If you have any suggestions for dealing with this annoyance, I am all eyes/ears.

Thank you.

ITunes is much less of a hog when used with a Mac.

Wait, wait, wait...I just downloaded i tunes over the weekend and have imported about 200 CD's worth of music. I've got about 50 or so more I wanna convert. Anymore fun glitches I can look forward to?

My suggestion -

Get rid of I-tunes and turn on the radio, like the old days. Works beautifully for me, and my computer is free for "computing".

Man, I can't even turn on FM radio anymore. I tried the other day, and it's just brain-curdling. DJ's constantly yapping to phone callers giving shout-outs, bad music, bad morning shows. I listen to my iPod or ESPN radio when I'm driving to appointments along with a couple of talk-radio stations, and I hadn't realized how long it had been since I tried regular old music stations. I don't think I'll ever be a regular FM listener again.

Yeah, it's painful. Although you could do a lot of good by keeping ESPN Radio off.

Go back to walking 6 miles to school while you're at it.

And that is exactly why I hate I-Tunes and any Apple products that claim to work perfectly with a PC. 70% of the time they don't; I feel like they're made, on purpose, to work less effectively with a PC than they are with a Mac, which ticks me off even more.
