Quote:I hate how iTunes rips my music automatically to some crappy mp3 format. I always rip my music with Nero or WMP in mp4 format for ultra quality - and I do notice the difference! Because of this alone, I prefer Winamp as I find iTunes too intrusive for my tastes!
Completely understandable. As far as ripping goes, I won't put my money down on iTunes. But as far as music management, I'm going to stick it out with iTunes.:)
Managing a list of 12,000+ songs became rather troublesome with Winamp, but its still possible. What tipped the scale for me was iTunes smart playlists. The ability to auto select music on a variety of different classifications keeps me listening to much more of the playlist, without choosing the same hand picked tried and true tunes over and over.
