[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1061277, member: 59143"] I swore off iTunes a long time ago. Despite unchecking the "copy files" thing in advanced preferences, iTunes still manages to arrange things the way IT wants to, and not how I ultimately wanted it to. So I switched to [url=http://getsongbird.com/]Songbird[/url] and haven't looked back since. Great media player that covers every single format you throw at it. Native FLAC and Ogg playback is a big plus for me. You can also download an extension (this is a Mozilla product so works the same as FireFox extensions) which enables the keyboard for media controls, the same as you'd use for iTunes (*forward, back, play/pause etc.. ). The only thing it won't do is sync your music with your iPod or iPhone, but that's Apple's fault, since they refuse to have anybody dare use anything but iTunes. I mean really.. how dare we not like iTunes and want other choices ! ****ed be a human ! Doug [/QUOTE]
