  • I know this sounds nuts, but I haven't had my own pc/laptop/computor for about a year. I've just got my laptop fixed and haven't got around to getting a screen for my PC. I used to have WMP all neatly set up.

    Anyway enough of the prelude...

    • Spotter's right you don't get the hassle,
    • search is much better,
    • forward/back funtions,
    • viewing options,
    • But the BIGGEST gripe is....

    ....being able to create your own filters and genres - eg I used to have "mood", so you can have say a song in the 'rock' genre which is a 'angry' "mood" and a 'hip-hop' genre one also in the 'angry' "mood". Then you can have filters so you auto-create playlists - eg 'angry' + 'upbeat', etc. You can say itunes has this, but really it doesn't. It just sort of does.

    Oh and the other big gripe is the way the whole thing is essentially designed to move you from what ever you used, to buying songs/media from Apple via the istore. It just isn't designed for your use. The whole program seems to go against that macfanboy saying of "it just works".

    FWIW altho I don't own Apple Macs, I have nothing against them*. If I had the cash I'd have one.

    *altho I'm always sceptical of anyone who wanks over any one thing/brand excessively.
