Why should I continue to use iTunes?

I've seen nothing but problems and irritations. All I want is to put my music on my iPod.
Sound Leveling? Don't Care.
Gapless Playback? Don't Care.
38,000+ songs? Great. What? Now you can't find them? F this.
If I could get a version of iTunes that doesn't have the application bloat, that does have options I can choose with install, then I have a feeling I won't be the only person who is happy. Until then, tell me why Songbird, WinAmp or basically anything else isn't as good as iTunes.

The 38K songs that went missing - were those on an exHD whose letter changed when Windows decided your digital camera (or USB memory stick) needed the exHD's letter?
Never mind.
In case 3rd time is the charm, here's a third vote for you getting rid of itunes since you hate it.
Listening to music is supposed to be fun!

  • Why should i continue to use IPOD+ITUNES??

    I use itunes and i bought Texas Hold'em game. Nice, I said: let's go for a backup. What?? I CAN ONLY MAKE BACKUPS ON DVD AND NOT ON HDD-FILE?? Ok, don't worry, let's use a DVD... What?? Itunes don't recognise my DVD Writer??
    It' doesn't matter... Then a virus: i had to format PC. Don't worry, someone says it's simple: let's go to istore again, login, buy again the same game and then itunes would download it again for you recognising you've already bought that game 2months ago. NOT TRUE.
    Plese tell me_: why should i continue to use a software that is not able to make a simple backup in a folder or on a dvd? Why have i to buy games for ipod?

    Thanks to all. In fact I used Manually backup for all songs and cover, BUT IT DOESN?T WORK WITH DOWNLOADED GAMES. When I formatted i chenged from an ipod 3rd gen to an ipod 4th gen. I've tried to restore my hand-made music backup and it works. I've tried to restore my hand-made game backup and it lacks. So i tried to download again from istore because i bought Texas Hold'em weeks before. Istore confirms it's already bought and simply doesn't allow to dawload the game again.
    I'm gonna try with the last release of iTunes.
    By the way thanks a lot to everyone

  • Why should I continue to use your product after the way you treated your former CEO?

    content

    Hello erqerq, thanks for taking the time inquiring about the issue instead of just silently turning your back on us. You might spare a minute or two to go through these bits of information trying to clear up a some of the misconceptions that are flying around. Unfortunately some media outlets will rather publish sensationalized stories generating many clicks and increased revenue by ads than perform the most basic fact-checking:
    https://medium.com/p/7645a4bf8a2

    <br>https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/04/05/faq-on-ceo-resignation/
    If it were for Mozilla alone Brendan didn't have to leave - we would like nothing better than to rehire Brendan. In fact, we didn't want him to leave in the first place. However it was his personal decision to resign among all this ongoing frenzy, threats and mischaracterization of him as a person and the Mozilla community coming from third-parties, in order for the constant bombardment to end and to avert any further damage to Mozilla and its mission that he helped build for many years in such an essential role.
    So in this sad process we have lost a co-founder and brilliant technical mind and now the "other side" of the political spectrum also comes along, again very quick rushing to judgement, bashing our community and some voicing calls for boycotts against our products.
    <br>In my opinion Mozilla has not deserved to be in the middle of all of this and getting entangled in the politics of the day certainly isn't the right place for us to be in. Our community exists to advance the state of the Web by promoting openness, innovation and opportunity, which should be the one goal we can all unite around, no matter which views we might have otherwise.
    Thank you!

  • Why am I unable to use iTunes??

    I cannot use iTunes because my software is out of date.   When I try to update it says that my opperating system is too old.  Why can't I use what I have already loaded--like my music???

  • Why do you continue to use a G4?

    This may seem like an odd question as I assume that the obvious answer is economics for some, the need to still use OS9 for others and the fact that older G4's are cheap and highly upgradeable/hackable.
    I bring this up because, I-like many on here, are looking (or already have) to spend hundreds of dollars upgrading our G4's but it dawned on me that instead of spending $600 or $700 to upgrade my machine I could use that money (coupled with what I get from selling my MDD) and purchase a faster G5.
    The G4 line is testament to the sound design of the Apple PowerMac, but at some point technology will surpass it-future versions of OSX and other software may only work on-a bare minimum- the G5.
    I dunno, just curious

    I use the G4 because I do simple computing such as surfing the I-net, playing archaic 1980's-1990 based games, and some games of today though not as much. I also use the computer for everyday tasks such as: burning DVDs+CDs, making music cds, etc. I use it for word processing and microsoft office applications.
    Although, I do make good money working for the US Gov't, I still don't have the funds to further upgrade to a newer machine, esp since personally I have a hatred towards the intel architecture and its technology - hense why I won't go with a Mac Pro b/c of that + the price is way too high.
    If anything I will continue to use the G4 MDD as it serves my needs and probably will for the many years to come. I plan to run Slackware linux on my computer when I feel mac os x won't run on my machine. I do plan to get Leopard, thats if it is supported on the G4 MDD machine. Although, my blue prints for the future state that I probably will return to the PC architecture under the powerful processing power of AMD which is a cool processor for almost anything.
    Although, I have A+ certification and network certs in PC networking, I have given up the technology, and so my knowledge goes back to P3 and earlier intel based machines.
    A few interesting dates as to when I started on the Mac.
    Circa 2000-2001 = Worked at Comp-USA as a corporate account manager/retail hardware sales representative and decided to buy the then 350mhz sawtooth or AGP Graphics power mac G4.
    Because of financial difficulties I wound up selling my mac and restoring all power back to my Pentium III 866mhz machine with the full 768mb of pc133 memory. This was from late 2001-2005.
    Late 2005 - Having been macsick over the fact that I sold my mac back in 2001 I came across the sawtooth mac again, but this time at 500mhz using the 7410 power4 processor. I purchased this one off of ebay.
    End of 2005 - decided to search ebay for a better board and processor and this led me to the rise of the digital audio power mac g4 - THE MAC AT THIS STAGE IN MY LIFE WAS SET IN STONE. PowerPC all the way, until....
    2006-present = Still have G4 Digital Audio and passing this onto my son. The processor is a 733mhz processor w/1MB cache. Then on craigslist I just acquired the Mirror Drive Doors G4 with Dual processors running at 1.25GHZ w/4 MB total L3 cache(2MB/Processor). I am loving this machine very much, but with Apple finally going with the PC technology and abandoning the power architecture, I am contemplating either later on looking into the G5(pending comfortable price level) - or reviving the PC and going with an AMD OPTERON system, however using Linux or BSD instead of windows vista.
    All in all, this Mac is a very very powerful machine and I enjoy using it. I am sorry to those out there that think the G4 and possibly G5 can't provide basic/intermediary computing, but for the price of the new mac intel pc's, I can say that its better to consider a native PC than dual booting mac/pc. This is my own opinion of course. I am sorry if I have seriously offended people and Apple on here, but I am entitled to my own opinion. Mac OS X is based off of BSD and similar to FreeBSD which I used to run on my P3 system. I just don't see the cost for paying overpriced dollars for a machine that has more power than I could ever need.
    For what I do and most on here will agree with me: 3ghz is something that I really don't need at the present, possibly not at all.
    God Bless to everyone!

  • Why should my clients who use contribute 3 suffer because I upgrade from cs3 to cs4?

    I developed a template that can be used by a number of chapters of a charitable organization. The chapters who subscribe to my template all purchased contribute cs3 and it works well for them.  I may have made the mistake of buying the CS4 upgrade, as any new keys that I send using Dreamweaver cs4 to new users can not be used by users with contribute cs3. Most of these chapter already using contribute 3, do not have the funds to upgrade to contribute 4.
    The code of my template has not changed, only the tool that I use to administer it has, why should they have to upgrade because I have?
    This also makes it so that older users of my template will not be able to beneifit from the new version of the template. Do I have to reinstall CS3 and keep using CS3 to administer their network or do I have to force them to purchase the upgrade because I chose to upgrade to Dreamweaver CS4? There had to be a way I can send a contribute 3 user a new key because the user has changed names without forcing them to upgrade. Otherwise I have to develop my template so that changes can be made by users using other wisiwig programs.

    Thanks for that.
    Yes I had the notion I may have been duped into buying a counterfeit CS3. I got it from Amazon and though Adobe seem to think that the serial number is OK they could not trace it on their system. However, if ths is a fake copy, what can Adobe do to help? How did they help you? I can't see them giving me a free CS3 in exchange - so I'm stuck!
    Kind regards
    I had exactly the same problem and I am sorry to say that you may have a counterfeit version of CS3. Contact Adobe they helped me to sort out the problem.

  • Why Should I Continue This Service?

    I loaded Spotify last night to try it out properly for good, to see whether all the hype by an old music buddy of mine was worth the money and time invested in sharing with other members of the Spotify community, creating playlists of music that I like and finding like-minded people online and creating a personalized radio station akin to the one I had going at one time when I still had a day job - listening to PANDORA. I created a custom playlist using songs selected from Nirvana, Eels, The Metroschifter, Jimi Hendrix, The Fugees, Johnny Cash, Kanye West, Led Zeppelin, Tower Of Power, Eve 6, M.I.A., Paul Simon, The Smashing Pumpkins, Elliot Smith, Death Cab for Cutie, Sandrine and Radiohead. I then started a new radio station based upon the selected playlist I had created. I did this through two modules of code from the right click on the list itself and the search suggestion of the custom list itself - thinking maybe there was some janky glitch in the software which was playing the suggested music improperly as the player didn't seem to work well when I first loaded it, freezing at times and doing nothing - both modes connected me to the same custom radio playlist selections. By signing up for Spotify Premium and committing myself to what would become a yearly habit of spending ~$120 a year on music or the equivalent of 120 singles on iTunes and their accompanying Genius playlist creation, I ended up with the following as suggestions for music to listen to based upon the aforementioned artists. Thin Lizzy, Ted Nugent, Iron Maiden, Ram Jam, The Doors, Van Halen, ZZ Top, Guns N' Roses, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest (That one took about 15 suggested likes and dislikes and 40 skips of user feedback from me to get it to pop up), AC/DC - OVER AND OVER AND OVER, skipping song after song after song and getting the same garbage. Yes, I like some of the songs from artists listed as playback and indicated as such with a positive and negative feedback accordingly, but hardly a custom radio station does this make. Is the algorithm so good that it can improve my life by getting me to round out my musical tastes by getting me to listen to more 80’s rock? No.
    Either Spotify has a major flaw in their algorithm for music selection, they take forever to process user feedback, they just can't get it right, they should be paying me and not the opposite to help them develop their software or they just plain SUCK! So tell me why I should keep this service another second longer, let alone till the end of the day? Waiting... Ryan Sackrider

  • Apple should pay ME for using iTunes Match...

    iTunes Match has been more of a hassle to use since I signed up for it than it's been benefit..
    aside from previous issues with synching with iTunes...
    Now with the latest iTunes update (11) I had songs doubly listed in my albums, I lost the icon to download things from the cloud that were missing, and playlists don't sync properly..
    Also, mandatory Genius playlists on my iPad are a pain in the ***..
    On my mobile devices (iPhone 4s and iPad 3) I am going to back to old school synching because for every hour I have to sit around fixing issues Apple should pay me $25 as a reasonable rate for my frustration with their lack of beta/proper testing of their software...
    UGH, so frustrating.
    I feel bad for the Apple community in whole.  So much wasted time because we want to use products that are supposed to make life more simple.
    Apple, Get it together!  I want to use your products!  I seriosuly have thought about jumping ship.

    AGREED !!
    Im thankful that 'ping' has stayed gone.
    Apple needs to run beta testing seriously - are you paying attention Apple people ??? - Hello.
    BETA TESTING = CUSTOMER SERVICE

  • Why am I forced to use Itunes SA if I in anyway travel  between the UD

    I unfortunately registered my Apple using my SA address and have since been forced to use the Itunes SA for my application downloads and I also cannot download anything from the Apple Store USA because of this restriction, I travel between countries all the time and spend virtually no time in SA.

    I have tried using my USA bank account and have added a USA billing  address but as I have created a SA 'based" account before keeps going back on the SA Store etc. I don't know who's all aware of what is happening in SA regarding "Apple" and "Mackintosh" etc, but its a crying shame. You go into a store, what they have can be anything between two and five years old (on the shelves). The staff knows NOTHING. You go into a shop and you get all these blank stares. I bought a laptop from a "accredited" ha ha ha Apple Store in Menlyn Park, when it picked up a problem I found out  that the one shop assistant had tried to open it in the back of the store using a knife to see if he could fix it himself...only to find that the Laptop had components of LG and Samsung and other generic brands inside, not a Apple laptop at all.The shop assistant was not surprised, he said yes, he knows, the Apple devices bought in SA are from China, assembled there as cheaply as possible...Some Chinese mixup. It was then sent away for repairs, I waited for nearly four months. Was returned still not working so I got rid of it. You access the Itunes Page for SA you will see there's nothing available, very little and no movies nothing. Sad state of affairs. I own nine Apple Devices all bought from the Apple Store on 5 th NYC. I buy nowhere else. So then while being in the USA I can use the Itunes USA store, but immediately when I return I'm thrown back onto the SA sites. Oh my goodness. Ps thank you for your reply anyways..

  • How can I continue to use iTunes with my iPhone if I don't have a 64 bit mac mini?

    Frustrated, Dissappointed, Forgotten are my new icons, of late. Why does Apple think we can be stepped over and trampled under foot with mandatory downloads for iTunes 10.4 which disrupts any normal function to access my iphone because the intel Core Duo 1.66 GHZ mac mini can't have 64 bit upgrade.
    Plus their Support Download insists on forcing the Lion version on customers holding on to similar model units. While all the buying is going on because of hype and swipe. Now with iTunes 10.4 no iphone appears on the left sidebar which means it doesn't belong on my system. Disfunctional Software! What's the answer how I can obtain only the June level of iTunes which iTunes 10.3.1? And how to keep the system from wanting to update it?

  • Why my iphone wont retsore using itunes

    my iphone is disabled and I tried resetting it from iTunes but it wont reset . I don't know what to do

    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

  • I continually receive the "iTunes has stopped working" notification and won't allow me to log on.  Why is that?  I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes repeatedly to no avail.

    Why do I continually get the "iTunes is not working properly" notice???  I cannot get to the iTunes store.  I am using Windows 8 and have tried downloading it and redownloading it numerous times..

    Yeah... that's how it works.  Signing into iTunes does not magically make a library appear.
    If you have an iTunes library (media purchased from iTunes) then YOU need to put it on the computer.
    Also, since the computer is no longer authorized for his account, any media associated with his account will not be playable.
