Switching to iTunes
« on: May 02, 2006, 12:33:36 PM »
Well, with my laptop I've decided to make the switch to iTunes instead of Winamp. One of the things that has kept me away from using it more was it doesn't support Ogg format (which I encode with). But I found this Ogg plugin http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/download.html so now iTunes happily plays Ogg files and thus I can add my music library.

So I've been converted. Maybe the next step will be this http://www.flyakiteosx.com/

I tried iTunes the other day and hated it, all of it. I was just curious (I haven't got an iPod).
WMP > iTunes.

EDIT: Plus I've still got £6.60 on my MSN Music account.

I like iTunes in general, but it's a bit slow...

I'm a bit weary (sp) of that Steve, it appears it doesn't work well with podcasts etc - and I listen to them pretty reguarlly.
