News AVG update kills iTunes

I am still stunned at the concept of people paying for music that is easily available for NOTHING elsewhere.

Lemmings alert!

S*D

 

Greetings!

Some people are worthy elements of society. Others are just parasites.

 

As a professional in graphics and design I can only laugh at all the hate for OSX, as Windows does not deliver, where I really would need it to deliver. All professional media is done in OSX today because Windows fails to deliver.

On topic:
People shouldn't setup their AV-tools to do something automatically and allways set them up to ask what to do in every case.

 

I don't understand what you mean when you say that the media player is hanging over your work area. I decide what music I want to listen to, then minimize iTunes. The player sits on the taskbar in mini-mode (or whatever Windows calls it). All the necessary buttons are right there on the taskbar: volume, next, previous, play/pause, etc.

I suppose this is one of those your-mileage-may-vary situations. At home I have a dual-core Athlon with 2 GB of ram, and iTunes takes only a few seconds to open and go - certainly quicker than the 30 seconds it takes you on Foobar. Really, it takes me longer to make up my mind as to what music I want to play.

What are you doing that Windows fails to accomplish? I also am a professional working in graphic design and video production, and I realize that each platform has something to offer. We typically use whatever program is most suitable for a particular application.

I only use iTunes on my GF's laptop as she has an ipod and i can't be arsed hacking around the security to use somthing else.

The main reason I don't have an ipod is itunes. Horrible!

 

I've never had a problem getting my iPod to talk to Winamp... it's never even seen iTunes. Just Winamp.
