iTunes runs beautifully for me. Great program.

I also have a Mac.

I just used the nifty two-finger scroll feature on my trackpad to scroll down to your post.

I'm using the backlit keyboard to type this response - the tactile feedback is amazing.

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.
Which is ironic, because the fastest Windows Vista notebook is a Mac.

iTunes is an evil, evil program.

One more reason to love my laptop. Best money I ever spent.

Exactly, and as someone with a well adjusted moral compass, I'm well equipped to inform you how terrible iTunes is.

Is this just a PC thing, but I've never run into someone on a Mac that complains about iTunes.

And this isn't meant to knock the other programs - because I'm honestly curious - but can you create smart playlists? Smart Playlists are where you can program playlists to filter your music. Like, I would create one for my 200 most recently played songs, and then set my iPod to auto sync with that playlist. That way I don't have to spend time building a list, it just does it automatically and puts it on my iPod whenever I plug it in. Also, do this other programs support album images yet? I like to setup my Mac as a virtual jukebox at parties and I love the album sort feature. I would imagine the winamps, et al, have caught up with those features by now.... or maybe not.

Oh, and can you share music easily between those programs when you're on the same subnet... like at work or a college dorm?

BUMP

So does anyone know if the other apps can do those things? I'm still curious.
