Winamp is so much better than iTunes as a media player. The only thing I use iTunes for is synching. Even then I get lots of really frigging annoying errors half the time. If I ever meet the programmer tho thought that “Unknown error -69” was a useful error message I shall personally beeyotch-slap him. If Winamp can now do that as well as or better than iTunes than as far as I’m concerned iTunes has just become totally redundant.

the last time i tried the winamp plug-in, i thought it had potential but it was nowhere near as intuitive as itunes. sure itunes takes up more hard drive space and runs a little slower, but if you have a decent computer that shouldn’t be a big problem. the interface alone is worth the slower reaction time.
awell, i’ll give it another try.

Isn’t a speed issue for me, my computer is plenty fast enough. It’s all the stupid error messages that don’t tell you anything that I objected to. As I have probably already said, outputting error numbers with no useful information is just sloppy, lazy programming.
