"iTunes - is it stupid, or just me?"

I was reading up on some of the 'legal download' sites, and I'm sure iTunes says you can download stuff to your iPod, but it doesn't mention any other devices.

Now are they just saying this because they want everybody to have nice shiny iPods, or can you not download anything you had from iTunes onto a regular MP3 player?

Not that I even have one, but my wife wants one for her birthday.

iTunes is easily the best music player.

You can convert any file to MP3 as well, there's an option in one of the menu's ...

Suprised nobody knew that.

Also it makes the nicest playlist....

And if you're wondering why iTunes is so extremely focused on iPod's, it's simply because it was primarilly built as the Software for iPods, not a standalone product (which is blatantly why you don't have to pay for it - yet...)

ive been using musicmatch for about 5 years and have never had a problem, i haven't seen you prove anything or show actual criticism, just throw lame slander.

Can't listen to timmargh! he was stupid enough to buy a mac! Hohohohohoho :-)

Is it just me, because i find WMP sounds a hell of a lot better than Itunes player. When you higher up the sound when playing a tracj in Itunes, it gets all distorted. With WMP it sounds great!

Well ive never had any problems with it. My review would say its good.

What's wrong with MusicMatch? A few snippets from reviews:

"You better have a descent system cause this software will suck it all up like theres no tomorrow."

"I have no way to play MP3's now. Thanks!"

"It's far too slow and buggy. Nearly every time I imported songs into my library, the program froze up and I'd have to go to Task Mgr to kill the processes"


Need I go on?! :D

Whats wrong with MusicMatch? I've been using it for years and it's always been fine for me.

What should I get thats better than it?

Oooohhh ... you mean iTunes the website, eh?
I'm on about the actual iTunes software.

I've got no problems putting my choons from iTunes onto my MP3 player - it's one of those thin Mambo ones.
Just make a playlist of the song you want, select them all and drag them onto (into) the MP3 player disc / window.

I want.

WMP supports the napster music service, I think.
