The amount of RAM that iTunes uses is a joke. I’m almost ready to reinstall Winamp.

iTunes is unintuitive

Posted by: Kerosene on: November 16, 2006

Despite the MASSIVE and RIDICULOUS shortcomings of iTunes, I like it, and I’m trying to use it as much as possible so I can get my home (desktop) and away (iPod) playlists and ratings in sync.

Which means it uses [...]
