Sam Nichols Posted January 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 it's difficult to put my finger on it really, I just prefer Winamp, find it much nicer to use... But Winamp still isn't perfect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

street trials rider Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 ITunes works pretty well, i've had loads of players, loving ITunes though, easy to search for the tune you want aswell, start typing any part of the artis/song in the search bar and it starts taking out the ones that dont apply and leaves you with the tune(s) yoru after *rather quickly aswell* http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 MusicMatch is the biggest piece of shit I have ever used. No actually, Real Player is worse but not by much. iTunes is OK, does the job. What version of Winamp are you using? If you don't need a library thing just use Winamp 2.xx, it's great. Really fast, uses next to no resources, good song search function (better than iTunes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfboy Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 The reason I'm loving iTunes at the mo is everyone at uni is the sharing feature. I don't have an iPod at the mo either. Nice file organisation feature too and radio, also the ability to buy songs like that is nice (spose it's not bad from apples point of view either) Downsides are the incompatibilty of the .m4p files and the fact it's a freaking resource hog.

Technical Tom Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I think itunes does the job but something called 'sonicstage' is good and different, give it a try Cheers,Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_P Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Love itunes to organise all music in one place, can search for single songs quick and have albums at the side. What more could you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all still .mp4 and I don't think you can change that. Maybe with some extra software, dunno. That's fine if you have an iPod, but if you don't, they won't play on your MP3 player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Pitbull Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 How come, when i download any File Sharing software it always downloads over 17GB of porn onto My Shared Files folder? NO MATTER WHAT software I get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swize Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 How come, when i download any File Sharing software it always downloads over 17GB of porn onto My Shared Files folder? NO MATTER WHAT software I get?And thats a bad thing ?But by the sounds of things you have a virus or some kind of spyware run a few checks something you should get sorted out!And the one i got with my zen micro was pretti good ime likeing it. Its called creative source media player.Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Pitbull Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Its like a Zombie Virus, no matter what i do/delete it always comes back for more. for example, I deleted all of Kazaa/Ares and "My Shared Folder" and few days later "My Shared folder" re-appeared wth shit loads of Porn Zip files?? scary stuff. Now I cant deleted "My Shared Folder" because it states the file is in use with another system or user . I keep running Spyware and it keeps finding a virus named "oo" everytime i start my computer up again the file re-appears, i think this may be the cause of why my computer is a porn shed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
