What is Digg?427 Comments
- jonjonaramacon, on 09/03/2008, -19/+523How about telling Apple Software Update that updating iTunes doesn't mean installing Safari?
- Stangs55, on 09/04/2008, -13/+387You know what would be a REALLY crazy and SUPER DUPER advanced feature? The ability to monitor a music folder!!!
Oh mannn....Noooo wayyyy....That's crazzzzzzzy, you say!
But NO, I tell you! Some of the lesser known media players...well, actually, all other media players...already can do this. Little names like windows media player and winamp do this super duper advanced thing already and have been doing so for years!
Just imagine...an iTunes where you don't have 1000 duplicate and missing songs. And iTunes with little exclamation points next to every other song! An itunes where I say, "Hey there Apple! I keep my music in folder X! Please monitor that folder and add/delete songs as I do so that I'm not forced to use iTunes to manage files! KTHX!"
I know, it sounds crazy...but if they can afford those witty little commercials and a phone that sometimes gets signal on weekends, they can at least put a lil' R&D into better music managements...or ANY music management. - VodkanLemons, on 09/04/2008, -14/+233iTunes keeps getting loaded with more and more useless ***** everytime a new version comes out.
I just wish someone made a HACKED version of iTunes, with features that people actually want! - sockpuppets, on 09/04/2008, -0/+180Launch digg and itunes on vista at the same moment and time stands still. My cat floats around the living room in slow motion like he's in the matrix.
- aznpwnzor, on 09/04/2008, -3/+146or making it not bloatware on windows?
- tygut1, on 09/03/2008, -8/+113Genius sounds pretty cool, but other than that I don't see any really cool new features. I mean who really uses the visualizer anyway?
- beerbarron, on 09/03/2008, -5/+102Wireless syncing with touch phone please
- batmanz, on 09/04/2008, -6/+95Can they write it decently for Vista maybe? Or does Apple think that if they ignore Vista it will go away?
- jjpertusch, on 09/04/2008, -4/+91holy *****, i always thought i was doing something wrong. this post makes me feel so much better.
- wazzledoozle2, on 09/04/2008, -9/+87Yet more bloat on top of the 100mb footprint of iTunes and all it's supporting services?
Give me a ***** break Apple. Itunes is a piece of *****, fix your current mess before even thinking of adding new features. - grepgav, on 09/04/2008, -1/+74I would love to see them streamline it and try and cut back on resource usage.
It does some things extremely well but if I just want to listen to music, not involving syncing my iPod, I usually end up using a smaller app - citirae, on 09/04/2008, -3/+72everyone who smokes pot uses visualizer.
- solidus636, on 09/04/2008, -1/+67Maybe they should fix the tagging. I had the EXACT same tags on my songs for an album, but the album would always be split into two separate albums. Extremely annoying.
- protogenxl, on 09/03/2008, -5/+60But have they made any of the simple fixes like changing "sort artist" on multiple files?
- wazzledoozle2, on 09/04/2008, -2/+46HAHAHAHAH!!! You've got to be ***** kidding!
Winamp with 18,000 song library - 25mb of ram
Itunes with 0 song library - 100 mb of ram (includes apple mobile device service and all that other ***** itunes installs) - joeycerone, on 09/03/2008, -2/+40don't you mean who uses the visualizer sober?
- WileyK, on 09/04/2008, -3/+40You know what would be an awesome new feature for 8?
Not Being A Bloated Piece Of *****.
Opening my task manager I have:
Itunes.exe
Ituneshelper.exe
iPodservice.exe
AppleMobileDeviceService.exe
Applemobiledevicehelper.exe
FIVE ***** PROCESSES FOR ONE PROGRAM ARE YOU ***** JOKING OH MY GOD.
And yet I still use it because I have an iPod and all other 3rd party iPod synch programs suck. *sigh* - nwoolls, on 09/04/2008, -6/+41And yet it still cannot monitor a folder for new music...
- Chaulis, on 09/04/2008, -0/+35And dies directly after.
- placidified, on 09/04/2008, -2/+35yeah i know, i love how my iPhone has two batteries and the slide out keyboard !
/sarcasm - quomen, on 09/04/2008, -3/+34How about fixing the coding so it's not as slow as ***** on a Windows machine.
- diggproof, on 09/04/2008, -2/+32I just love deleting registry keys to reclaim my CD Burner after iTunes is opened
- jeffvvisoft, on 09/04/2008, -1/+31and it comes in a nifty 60mb download
- TreatsTheBear, on 09/04/2008, -2/+31Or you could just not keep your drum samples in your music library.
- ptFoe, on 09/04/2008, -1/+29Also included is Safari 4
- freqk, on 09/04/2008, -1/+28Milkdrop.
- digitalpencil, on 09/03/2008, -2/+28"iTunes 8 includes Genius, which makes playlists from songs in your library that go great together. Genius also includes Genius sidebar, which recommends music from the iTunes Store that you don't already have."
so kind of a cross between Pandora and iTMS.. - mgill3, on 09/04/2008, -1/+27I think it's just cool for parties if you wanna set up a playlist and let it run on your TV or computer. Other than that, oh wait, get really high and sit and watch it, that could be cool.
- robzthird, on 09/04/2008, -0/+26You could make a smart playlist to isolate tracks less than ten seconds and then select them all and check the option skip when shuffling. I know, not ideal, but its something.
- grumpyrain, on 09/04/2008, -5/+30Maybe then they could also try writing a version that actually looks and behaves like any other Windows application?
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExper ...
Point 1: Users will learn your application faster if the interface looks and behaves like applications they’re already familiar with.
Maybe they give Winamp, Windows Media Player or any other media manager / player a whirl to see what their user base is actually familiar with. - CapeKid, on 09/04/2008, -3/+28You can turn this off. Next time it asks for an update, in that box there is an option in one of the menus to turn off specific portions of the update.
- Tikisam, on 09/04/2008, -1/+25What I really want is iTunes light.
I'd really like to be allocating my system's resources elsewhere while iTunes light lets me navigate my library, nothing more. - meamog, on 09/04/2008, -0/+23I found a fix for that exact problem - clear the "album artist" field, save it, and then fill it in again. It works for me every time.
- c010rb1indusa, on 09/04/2008, -4/+26Visualizer with a trippy song is the ultimate laser light show, specially on a big HDTV.
- Kronos6948, on 09/04/2008, -6/+27Totally agree. I also wish they'd give you an option to ignore tracks that are less than 10 seconds. I have a crapton of drum samples I use for recording, and if I decide to randomize my whole library, every other song is a one hit.
- ferrariman60, on 09/04/2008, -7/+27except you pay apple. what a deal.
- sirbeta, on 09/04/2008, -0/+18I couldn't disagree more.
- hakz, on 09/04/2008, -5/+23wow, I was really worried that what he said was wrong. Thanks for reassuring me *thumbs up
/sarcasm - ScrewedThePooch, on 09/04/2008, -0/+16Also, remove QuickTime requirement from iTunes and stop making it start in the tray when I boot (or at least give people the option to not have it boot at startup). Why does everyone think their app is so important that you must want it to start with Windows?
EDIT: And yes, I know how to disable it manually. - mgill3, on 09/04/2008, -0/+15They're getting Windows users familiarized with the Mac style interface so that when they look at switching, Apple can say "If you know iTunes, you know Mac," since the interface is similar with every other app.
- so1omon, on 09/04/2008, -3/+18OK... I'll bite. Neither Winamp or Windows Media Player look OR behave like any other Windows Application. So what was your point again?
I'm not saying that iTunes is better than either of those programs, but the particular argument you used is worthless. - jhails, on 09/04/2008, -2/+17When are we going to get wireless updates for iPods? Why are my portable devices still chained to my computer? How about it Steve?
- chinaafropirate, on 09/04/2008, -2/+17I really hope Apple lowers the amount of memory usuage in iTunes for Windows....and gets rid of all the extra software they bundle with it when it really isn't necessary.
- ExRe, on 09/04/2008, -4/+18Alright, anyone have any ideas for new things we can add to iTunes 8?
Well, is there any other buggy and vulnerable software we make that we can silently install at the same time? You know, something we poorly codded but blame our lack of quality on Microsoft for having such a terrible OS? - wazzledoozle2, on 09/04/2008, -4/+18I wish I could digg you for every feature Winamp has that Itunes lacks, and for every % less resources winamp consumes than iTunes.
- Karmavs, on 09/04/2008, -0/+13You are NOT going to like Google chrome. At all.
- inactive, on 09/04/2008, -4/+17But all windows apps have wildly different interfaces...
- abrasion, on 09/04/2008, -1/+14I wish I could digg you twice - truth, truth truth :(
- renesisx, on 09/04/2008, -1/+14... or ignoring Windows UI standards and trying to make it a Mac app on Windows. Which is an epic fail.
- c010rb1indusa, on 09/04/2008, -0/+12God how great would that be, it autosyncs while chillen in your pocket.
