Me neither. I've got a random MP3 player from Argos I love that I got last Christmas and it's only about 2 gig, but still doesn't fit all my music on X3

The colours are pretty, though. I like the yellow... and the pink and the green~

Me too, Danni! X3 Yaaay for random obscure cheap MP3 players that have 2 gig~ (Doesn't fit all of my music on it either~)

They're good with colours though! I am throughly impressed~ Prettyprettyshinyshiny. ;;Drools over colours;; They look like candy, oh my~
 
itunes is a huge resource rapist, has no proper ID3 metadata managing, does not work well with lossless at all, submits your listening habits to apple, has no proper extensions structure, is only open-source enough for apple to have market share, has no decent playback configuration including dB gain/loss, no context menu configuration, no UI editing at all, no DSP manager, shitty AMIP support, no respectable FLAC/LAME mp3 encoding, and throws its huge pretentious cock up unicode's ass.

and this just the stuff I can think up off the top of my head. I should also mention that the software is so bloated that you will have to restart your computer every time it updates. no piece of software should ever have do this. ever.
 
Well, if you're curious, ask. I love explaining audio-related things. :P I don't mean to come off as defensive (lol even though I am) but, y'know, friends don't let friends use iTunes and all that.
 
I only use ITunes over Yamipod (music recovery = <3) because that is the only way I know of to burn CD's (haven't thoroughly check Yamipod yet, though), only way I know of to upload DVD's to my IPod (despite it thinking all but one or two formats are evil), and has access to ITunes Store, which is the only way I know of accessing podcasts, games, etc.

Anyways, sticking with my trusty 30GB IPod Video suites my pokeporn viewing habits perfectly X3 Yes, I am pervy sometimes

Ok like the last bit um did we honestly need to know that

Also um Windows Media Player can burn CDs

And lastly I hate to be a grammar nazi but the apostrophes in "CD's" and "DVD's" are not meant to be there and they bug me sorry D:

Except it does an even worse job than iTunes, which is... pretty bad. Really, neither of them do a good job at all.

Exact Audio Copy is good, as is foobar2000 (which happens to be my audio player of choice as well). Both of these have excellent ID3v2 support as well as allowing all kinds of filetypes and encoding.

1. The "i" in iTunes and iPod are lowercase.
2. CD burning in iTunes is a joke; enjoy your bloated crappily-encoded files with no proper metadata.
3. Yamipod is not the only thing out there, it's just the one I use. It doesn't have any video support; however many other managers do. (Second column.)
4. I can't stop you from using the iTunes store, but think about what comes with buying a song/podcast/movie from the iTunes store - especially Apple's nasty DRM. The DRM prevents you from transfering the file to other computers, using the file in any non-iTunes application, and isn't even very good quality anyway - 128kbps? No thanks. Honestly, you're not buying music... more like renting it. You don't actually own anything.
 
Heard good things about Plextor, too, but from casual users so I don't know how it handles hardcore audiophile stuff :P

one problem I see is that everything I've bought off iTunes (a thankfully small amount) is on every computer in our house, so I don't know what kind of problems you're having.

Also shut up about the Xkbps eevee was pretty durn right.
