If you use iTunes, well first of all you have my sympathy. Secondly... you may like to know that Apple have updated it to patch up a vulnerability.[eWeek]Quote:
The iTunes flaw, affecting versions of the software up to 4.8, involves the way the application parses MPEG-4 files, such as the AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) files sold on the iTunes Music Store. A buffer overflow could be exploited by malicious MPEG-4 files to cause iTunes to crash or execute malicious code.
seems slower parsing the library too - but then, all i use it for is managing my ipod playlists and not much else.
I quite like iTunes. Don't really know why either...
Used to use winamp all the time but then they released a dodgy version and when I went back to use it again I did'nt like it.
Ah, part of the version 3 exodous were you? I don't blame you, I just stuck with v2 until v5 came out. :)Quote:

But yeh I have hardly used winamp since.
ooooh - hated v3 - ended up going to WMP at the time.
v5 was much better, but still very slow. v2 was a great release.
itunes still a bit annoying with the whole mini interface not quite acting as expect (nor quite as "mini") then again - using the plugin for ffox means that you can use itunes properly ;) - without having to see it ;)
exactly how I use it :)Quote:

I think that in the long run, I generally want two different types of media player - one that is ultra minimal and low memory usage, and another for other occasions where I actually want flashy interfaces, nice high res /fps visualisations.
iTunes fits neither of these!
I have been using itunes for quite some time now. Think I might give itunes a try :)
I ust iTunes for uhh... Why do i have it installed... Any way. Worth an update.
