Well, it’s out. Its the first release for Windows. A lot have b****ed and moaned for a long time for Apple to release iTunes quick, some almost in a disgutingly threatening manner.

...Now that it’s out, there are a lot of complaints, and it seems almost a waist of time for some. Hey…it’s out so why can’t anyone be happy? It’s a first release, and just like any good piece of software, there will be revisions. Chill out. Please.

works great for me. It does slow down when sound checking your library…if it’s a large library it will be slow for a while….other than that, it’s very responsive.

Hey Chris, your the reason why I hate mac users!  So f***ing arrogant!

OK if your in love with a $3,000 word processor.  Oh, but it looks so nice, does’nt it!

Be happy with your “##### proof”, but very good looking “investment”.  What’s it like to have just Quark Express and Adobe Photoshop to play with?  A tad boring I guess, but hey, it must suit your personality.

People like you are why Apple’s going down the pan.  How do they ever manage to liaise with any of it’s customers, if their all like you?

It is slow, especially when moving the GUI around. In addition, id prefer it sync its library with a specific directory i chose which has all my music on it, instead of either searching my hdrives for all music, or me manually adding everything to the library.

Lovin Itunes—
Running on a gateway 1 ghz laptop without problems.Itunes is great, it’s simple to use but has a lot of features
I like Media Center 9 but this intergrates better with my ipod.

fwiw, it works fine on my computer.  Resizing is slightly jumpy, but it doesn’t hinder my ability to resize.  Everything else is perfectly smooth.  The reviewer probably just has some issues with his rig.

seems responsive enough for me. 512 mb PIII-M (tualatin) 1.2 ghz, which can’t exactly be the fastest comp here considering it’s a couple years old

No speed issues or stability problems on on a 1.6 Celeron laptop. May be a memory issue. Nothing works with any grace in XP when ram<256Mb. This is a MS problem.

and you paid how much for iTunes? release 1 for Windows.. give them a break.. I’m sure there will be updates for it coming out…

as an iPod owner under Windows, there was no way in hell i was using MusicMatch. Now that iTunes is here, Ephpod, while the best out there for the platform, isn’t the all in one solution i wanted for my iPod

Ditto, once iTunes got installed this weekend, MMJB and Ephpod got deleted.  I’m satisfied with it.

It’s running great on my 1.5GHz MP4 500MB RAM - but the visualizer is not very smooth, you can really wait for the next frame No comparison to my collegue running it on a G5 But everything else is running smoothly - really a great piece of software. Thank you, Apple, for not letting us Windows users outside. Just bring iTMS to Europe soon

Hey Tony -

Where did it say in my post that I was a Mac user? Yes, I happen to have a Mac, but I do 99% of my work on a PC and have no problem with that. I happen to like the pros on both operating systems. But I also know HOW to configure my PC so that it works!

I just can;t stand listening to geeked out Windows losers whine about a FREE program that works pretty damn well.

Tony-

On behalf of all Mac users:

Get a clue and grow up.

Since upgrading to the latest version of itunes and quicktime the sound quality suffers significantly with major crackling / distortion / echoing as soon as I open another application. If I pause the current track and then play it again it starts playing with perfect clarity.

I have tried playing the same tracks (imported via itunes at good quality) in Windows Media and I have not had such probelms.

Anyone got any ideas as I hate Windows Media player!!!
