+Ryan Opaz+LaDonna Pride well it is good to know that it's not only my POS that is a POS…..
I am surprised that Apple does not make some great piece of software to support such an important part of the business.. but I guess since iPhone 5 will not need iTunes to activate and with the cloud – maybe we will not need itunes anymore….
iTunes is for people who haven't seriously tried something else. Been using Winamp forever. Does everything I need and more. Podcast updates, wireless sync and gives me a feeling of proper control over what syncs to each device that iTunes never did.
You know… iTunes USED to be a great piece of software… and then it bloated. 🙁 Winamp, in my opinion, is in the same boat. Currently, I use Google Music, Spotify and Grooveshark the most. For the desktop, I use mediamonkey. I think it is the best option out there, but very powerful.
The unfortunate thing is that for Canadians iTunes is the best options as they have the largest collection. I really wish I could get rid of iTunes. And all the competition's software are all me-toos.
What makes you think it works for Mac users?
Besides, digital music is just a fad for kids today… 😉
+Paul Moses True… that said I still like music on a crappy day.. thou I learn most of what I know it seems from podcasts…
+David Tedman Good point.. I was told by friends it works great.. but then again… they have drunk the kool aid….
it's no better for me on my Mac than it is on my Gateway
itunes is a joke, on mac, windows and otherwise. Seriously I dream at night of an viable alternative that supported podcasts natively.

Solution: get a Mac.
+Michael Fraser I have a mac…itunes still sucks
Don't hold your breath.
+Barry Grau What your not going to tell me that Apple does not care about Windows users?
why should they care, Microsoft does not 🙂
oh brother…….
It won't help them sell more hardware that begins with a lower case "i", +Brent Burzycki
Not so sure… Most people that have a device that starts with an i… run PCs. 😉 (Including my iPod touch)
Heck I have 3 devices with an i and have never owned a Mac….
