your absolutely right that there are other music download sites, but what do you use to transfer music on to the iPod.. aren't you forced to use iTunes, or am I wrong on this.
I can tell you exactly where my music is.c:musicAnd guess what... I use iTunes to organize my files. There is nothing more obscene than a folder with 70,000+ mp3s all named 'Artist - album - song title.mp3'How about using iTunes and using subfolders? 'c:musicBandAlbum' This way, when you want to send someone an album, or the discography, you can find the folder fast and easy.And guess what? I use Demonoid, soulseek, and torrentspy for almost everything I have. And people on SoulSeek appreciate the fact that my library is very well organized.
DigiMaso you have GOT to be s**tting me with this one:"How about using iTunes and using subfolders? 'c:musicBandAlbum'"Yeah... because I need iTunes to make a subfolder. I couldn't organize my music like you have described without iTunes.What I was really aiming at though is people who use the "My Shared Folder"from 8 different programs used to download music and run a search of theirmachine to put them all into an iTunes playlist... Anyway I'm assuming thatwas a joke you were making because you cannot be so stupid as to believethat you need iTunes to organize music into subfolders - but anything's possible.
Hi. I'm a Mac fanboy, so go ahead and flame on!Now that I got that out of the way, I'll say... yes, I love Apple, I love the whole iTunes+iTMS+iPod combination. It works for me and if it works for others, well, great. If not, that's ok... If you need to use an alternative, that's cool, just don't bash us fanboys for liking things simple. Speaking of alternatives to transferring songs to iPods: <a class="user" href="http://www.jakeludington.com/ask_jake/20050816_sync_ipod_with_windows_media_player_10.html">http://www.jakeludington.com/ask_jake/20050816_sync_ipod_with_windows_media_player_10.html</a>Pay attention to the "XPlay" suggestion. Back to the iTunes thing, one digger pointed out that it's for idiots who can't organize their music. Well, I guess I'm an idiot, but you can turn off the "Keep iTunes music folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" options in the Advanced settings. I used to have them off, but I turned them on because I like to keep things simple. And, yes, you can move your music around (with those options off) anywhere you want, even the nasty DRM'd tracks. You just have to let iTunes know where you moved the files, that's all. iTunes is just like any other piece of software that references other files. Oh, and as ~torifile~ said, there is NO step 2, if you have the iPod set to automatically synch with your library and iTunes set to open when the iPod is connected.BACK TO THE SUBJECT AT HAND: As soon as I get the Wii, this software will be the first haxie on the list! Looks promising! Will have to wait for fundage, though. Money's gone with Christmastime and all... and I just bought a new IPOD! :P
works like a charm - I'm now playing my itunes tracks via my Wii through my huge home theatre rig. I also just paid for the app - it's only $15 if you buy it during the 15 day free trial period.While I listen via my Wii, my friend just logged in from his house using a web browser and listened to my tracks. You just create usernames and passwords to allow friends to login and listen to your tracks - You can specify which playlists each user can view/listen to.

If you have to pose it as a question, it's probably not really "for the win"
