Never heard of this problem before. Also, if you want your media stored
on an external device, why not just have iTunes put it there in the
first place. If you hold down option while launching iTunes it will
prompt you for a library location. From there you can just navigate to
your external drive and then everything will go there unless you change
it again. Of course if you don't have your external drive hooked up then
you won't have access to your music.

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.

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
