The amount of RAM that iTunes uses is a joke. I’m almost ready to reinstall Winamp.
More iTunes bashing
Posted by: Kerosene on: November 30, 2006
Continuing on from my last iTunes bash… I just used iTunes to convert about 150 files from ogg to mp3. Re-encoding oggs to mp3s using iTunes is sad enough (I’m lazy), but when iTunes truncates nearly all of the filenames because it can’t cope with “long” filenames, that’s just too much. I now have to [...]
iTunes is unintuitive

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. But the menu items are insane. When I want to switch from the ‘big window’ iTunes to the miniplayer, [...]

Having decided just a few days ago to get a Nano, the screen on my cheapo ‘recreational use’ mp3 player has stopped working. Everything else works fine, but I have no idea what I’m doing when moving around in the menus. As much as I wanted a real reason to get a Nano, I’ll be [...]
iPod 4G pulls pants down

I’ve decided to get an iPod Nano. I’m absolutely happy with my 40gb 4G iPod, but unsurprisingly it’s never been small enough to comfortably carry when walking – which isn’t the reason I got it anyway. Whenever I’m doing something where the 4G would end up pulling my pants down, I use [...]
2 soundcards. Too much for iTunes.

If you’re a Windows user with more than one soundcard, iTunes is pretty much useless. Yes, iTunes is pretty, and the new album cover thing in v7 is nice – but if you’ve got 2 soundcards, then you’re fucked. iTunes can only use whatever card is selected as the system default. Which means it uses [...]
