Last month, we curled up with a pair of headphones and a 1.0 release candidate of Songbird, an open-source media player based on Mozilla technology. As a cross-platform music player built with Mozilla’s trademark extensibility in mind, Songbird soared with its integration of services like concert ticket notifiers, lyric downloading, and artist bios. Today the official Songbird 1.0 is shipping, and it even supports DRM-protected iTunes Store files, so we took another look at the feature roadmap and how the final version shaped up.
Playing teh Muzak
So I have been using itunes for a little while now and I feel like i got a pretty good handle on managing my music through itunes. I know that a lot of people do not feel the same way at all around here. I was wondering why you think itunes sucks? And what your using instead? I know that there are a lot of alternatives out there songbird, play, foobar, winamp.
I just prefer iTunes because in my opinion it has the best podcast support, the best store hands down, and its the easiest way to organize your music, download album art, and create playlists. I also share it between multiple profiles, my girlfriend and I share a common library so we can share playcounts, purchases, and we just like to share in general. I understand my needs are special, and thats why I choose the right tool for the job.
Let me know what you guys use and what you think of itunes in general. Its the big guy on the block now so id like to hear your thoughts.
