    I fucking hate I-tunes what a garbage resource hog of a program. If it wasn't for their monopolistic programming my wife would have no good reason to have that piece of shit on the computer. I hate it always fucking up the computer and slowing it down to a crawl. It's so non-intuitive and cumbersome. It feels like you have to ask your mom before you can do the simplest of tasks!

    I'm downloading winamp just because I hate that I-tunes garbage so much.

    Had to rant cause I was freaking the baby out with my real world verbal rant about that worthless program.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    It is annoyingly resource-intensive, I agree. But it also has the easiest interface for dealing with one's iPod, in my opinion, so I put up with it.

    winamp has always worked fine with my ipod. even if it doesn't have the most intuitive interface, at least I don't have to deal with that pos bloatware.

    "pos" = piece of shit

    "bloatware" = software that is so bloated with code (either due to bad coding or over-design) that it's slow and hogs memory

    Only as crazy as my wife apparently ;) she's a techie that's why it baffles me that she likes such a resource hog of a program.

    iTunes doesn't work quite right on a Windows system. Works great on a Mac though!
