I've just broken the record for pointless calls to Apple support.
Over two hours on the phone telling them that iTunes doesn't work, during which they tell me to remove and reistall it. I do. It still doesn't work. They tell me to remove and reinstall it again. I ask why. They put me on hold... and then cut me off.

Cunts.

iTunes is the most commonly used shit piece of software about.
if it wasn't for the iProducts, anyone with sense would use something else.

For playing or downloading?
Can't go wrong with Windows media player...

That's a lie
But I'm with Chomp, there are so many issues with iTunes, not least that it's close to 100mb now to download.

It's bloated, patronising
and fucking aggressive at installing updates, and it's update program is shhhhiiiiiiiiiit.

I don't have the update program issues, as I'm on my Mac
There are many other issues though, and a few plus points.

Foobar
Or VLC. Both about as minimalist as they come, Foobar probably has the edge as it maintains a library for you, but all the faff, fanny and bloat that slow down iTunes, Windows Media, and sadly even Winamp these days, are entirely optional.

iTunes
ranks up there with AOL and RealPlayer as some of the shittest software around.
