Ok, someone please correct me if I'm wrong here, but someone told me after I'd
ripped a bunch of CD's to my computer with the intention to cut and paste them
to my external drive, that in doing that you'd get some sort of error message
where Itunes is concerned, however he didn't tell me what it was, only that if
I remember correctly that it was a library issue. Is this true?
This is one of several things I at this point really don't like about the
software.

Subject: Re: Why Winamp?
Well, to speak frankly, I will tell you; at least from my point of view.
With regard to ITunes as a player, (and mind you I speak here strictly in terms
of the layer itself), I can't argue with it. Well, almost. ITunes doesn't do
ENQ. Okay, there's the ITunes DJ thingie I grant you, but, I can't find tracks
easily with that, and, besides, I don't want to be adding tracks and files to
the ITunes Library all the time just to make them easier to find. Now, we come
to the real issue. ITunes is so damn library dependant. The ITunes library
really sucks! Let's say I have the song "Life Without you" and it's in the
.m4a for mat. Well, I have it on my hard drive; but, when I add it to my
ITunes library, it creates a duplicate file of exactly the same size. That
means I've got two copies of the file where as I only wish to have just one.
that's a waste of disk space. The ITunes library is so cluncky it's beyond
belief. I have numorous loose files which are not tagged and which I have no
wish to add to the ITunes Library thus making unnecessary duplicates. Much
better, so far as I am concerned, to have a layer which has ENQ and which can
be triggered directly from the finder window. In short, you locate your first
file in the finder, and, you can ENQ that file in to your player directly.
Then, the next file and the next and so forth. The player would also allow you
to directly control the cross fading between files and no lag time at all
between files. That's just the start.

Hi donna, Just about anything is preferable to ITunes, but I think right
now it's just the novelty of the thing for us windows switchers who have fond
memories of winamp for windows. Especially before it got bought out by AOL.
These days I get my windows clients to start out on the KM player since winamp
is now chuck full of bloatware.
I'm not tempted to try it myself since vlc does what I need but winamp
for the mac has been too long in coming for sure. Hopefully the great pioneers
on this list will convince AOL to take an accessible direction with winamp
development and then we'll have yet another option.
Best,

Hi all,
I haven't really followed the winamp thread, but I'm curious as to why
anyone would go to all the trouble that seems to be involved in using it? Is
there some reason that it's preferable to iTunes?
Cheers,
Donna
