Wil Wheaton's Geek in Review: Five Ways to Make iTunes (more) Awesome
suicidegirls.com — "I like iTunes and believe it's a great bit of software, especially for users like my parents: it ’s easy to use, hard to break and it looks pretty. I think iTunes can be better, though, and since I’m not a programmer I puzzled out some idealistic ways that I think iTunes could be dialed up a little bit closer to Awesome."

- adamfalkofske, on 10/12/2007, -7/+5How about an application launch under 45 seconds? Or less resources hogged up? Think uTorrent.
- chi1thook, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6This isn't a digg story. It's an email complaint to apple.
- totorototoro, on 10/12/2007, -3/+745 seconds? holy *****. Mine launches in about 7 seconds, tops, first time (20G of music, if that makes a difference). Subsequent launches are within 4 seconds (must be cached?)
- iheartspyware, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Psh, seems like my Macbook Pro needs a quad core chip to launch iTunes.
Seriously though, iTunes takes like 2 seconds to open up on my MBP with 40GB of music.
- Kriff, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4iTunes is just bloated and slow. Rather than trying to make itunes "awesome," uninstall it and get better software.
- jamesd78, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0I've started using Grooveshark. They just released their Beta last week. No DRM, and songs range in price from .25 cents to .99 cents based on popularity.
- TheBlindGuy, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4I thought of a way. Rename it Winamp... or just uninstall it and install Winamp.
- Shinnokxz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5That was a misleading title. I went in there expecting some cool hidden/not known secrets with iTunes you can do, not some lame-o's boring holy grail against DRM. *yawn*
- derekknight, on 10/12/2007, -2/+46) Run a level 5 diagnostic.
/sorry, Wil - ronaldst, on 10/12/2007, -8/+5Buried as spam.
- Shinnokxz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2BTW, sorry to comment-jack...
What other kinds of music *organizing* applications are there out there that might be better than iTunes? I NEVER use iTunes store or download any podcasts via iTunes, so I'm wondering if I can just go free and then use a third party applications to organize and to load MP3s and playlists onto my iPod.
Oh yeah, that has GOOD ID3 tag support. iTNS does NOT have that.- commongiga, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2What is it you're looking for in ID3 tag support? I consider myself extremely anal about keeping my collection organized and I've found iTunes to be more than capable of handling my tagging needs.
- westoncampbell, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4"Wesley! Get off the damn bridge!"
For PC users running Windows -- Windows Media Player 11 just seems to work. It's simple enough and looks nice. - Shinnokxz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I think I may have to go that route, as I do have a 360 with WMC.. and sharing the MP3s of my iTunes library equals a mess of broken id3 tagged songs through that interface.
- elitork, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Very interest!
