winamp or itunes?

c0nstant · 05-30-2007, 07:56 PM

im getting an e1505 on friday and im kinda sick of itunes as my default audio player. a few years back winamp used to be my main application but after i bought an ipod it kinda died down. with winamps new version- 5.34 out and the itunes plug-in i really dont see a reason for itunes anymore. i guess what im asking is which would you rather use if you didnt want two audio players on your laptop.

Edit:
there is one reason why id consider keeping itunes- because i love the integrated song preview/purchase feature, and idk if winamp offers the same convinence.

I used to hate itunes and always use winamp on my pc. But when i finally got my Macbook pro, i started to like itunes. I love how it automatically updates new music i dl into my itunes playlist. No need to add music to your playlist like winamp.

haha winamp... yeah i dont use that anymore.

I use WMP for single songs (i'm feelin like listenin to random songs) and iTunes for playlists & songs from ipod.

I am biased...but itunes is only one of the best pieces of software ever!!

WINAMP

i used to be a winamp man, but for library management, itunes is the way forward!

SES_D · 05-31-2007, 02:47 AM

I HATE ITUNES! Omg, I wish that program would burn to death.

Winamp FTW!

iTunes all the way, Solid program that does not crash or hang. + buttloads of free content on iTunes, POdcasts rock !

Depends what you need truthfully.

When Winamp came out it was great. It was small, free, did not use a lot of memory, could customize it. Was very interactive. But it has slowly died down it seems, atleast for me and others.

I personally do not care since I just listen to music in my car or using my iHome(ipod speaker dock).

Or if I am on a computer and have to use it. www.pandora.com

shragon · 05-31-2007, 11:24 AM

itunes sucks. i only use it when i need to upload music to my ipod.

DesiGUY · 05-31-2007, 11:58 AM

iTunes is for iPod users

advanced comp users: VLC player (my fave, plays almost all)
others: Winamp, WMP11

stefman · 05-31-2007, 12:15 PM

iTunes is the only way to go. Easy, clean and simple.

JOEVISTA · 05-31-2007, 12:22 PM

itunes if you have an ipod.

KCMINI · 05-31-2007, 12:41 PM

Yeahhhh...I'm gonna have to go with itunes. It gives you a list of songs that you possibly might like based on previous music you bought..and it's automatically updated.

c0nstant · 05-31-2007, 06:52 PM

gahhhh i honestly dont know which to use. i think im making a big deal out of this, i mean i can always use both haha. ive considered the whole ipod updating scenario and i think the itunes plug-in should take care of that but it seems like more replies are pro itunes, idk ill just wait for more peoples input i guess

ska///235i · 05-31-2007, 07:17 PM

Winamp

Winamp!! it really kicks the llama's ass

Couch · 05-31-2007, 08:12 PM

Winamp FTMFW!

I downloaded iTunes when I got my laptop(e1705). Used it for about a month and a half before I had enough. Just couldn't get use to it.

Winamp
I dont do the play list thing...
I always listen to one song at a time... it's simple, doesnt take up much resources... and very discreet...

I use iTunes just to put music on my Pod...
I hate it otherwise... it's HUGE, the "minimized" version is still bigger than all outdoors... blah

For the people who use iTunes, are you able to get your playlists from iTunes to show up in the iDrive Playlist menu??
