Re:Its ITUNES not the POD (Score 1)

I don't really care if Music Match is crap, because I just happen to know that iTunes is almost as bad.

It's slow (in a Win32-PC anyway), eats tens of MB's of memory, creates couple of useless processes and f*cks up your entire mp3-collection if you are not careful enough.

Yes, it has nice music store, some nice features (like party playlist), but basically it's just a bloated piece of software that feels as nimble as a 10ft wide paintbrush when you are trying to fit a complete essay to a single A4/letter using kanji writing... Or at least it feels like that after several years with 'few hundred kb' Winamp 1.xx and 2.xx's

And yes, I have an iPod and I do love it. I just can't see the advantages of iTunes when i'm just playing my mp3's in Windows. iTunes is probably better on a Mac when you don't have to load all the UI candy for just one program.
