iTunes question
Does the iTunes interface entirely lack things like "fast forward?"

Or am I missing something really obvious?

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”

I think it might work if you hold down the skip/back buttons. If not then it doesn't have it. I'm pretty sure that works though.

Ah. Merci. iTunes has to be the most frustrating interface I've had to deal with on a music program.

There are things I miss about Winamp when I use iTunes. But I have an iPod, and all the iPod stuff for Winamp doesn't work as well as iTunes (which makes sense oddly enough).

I do miss being able to skip songs with the scroll wheel on my mouse like old Winamp.

I only use iTunes for podcasts anyway. My Zen suits me fine. The interface is really crappy, and if Apple didn't have aproprietary connection, there's no way this shit would be this popular. Hell, I'm looking into some of the alternatives for podcasts, because the interface is needlessly klunky. Sure, I could work around it, but why would you? It's like saying "I could deal with being kicked in the nuts." Who'd actually opt to?

Well, massochists.

I use Zencast for podcasts now, but I guess that because it treats audio podcasts as video, you'd need quite a new one.

iTunes had some good features when it first came out and it still does, but now Windows Media Player 11 takes it, for me at least. Winamp loads a larger library a little faster, sometimes, and WMP11 has a great new graphical interface with it's album art that makes things so much easier to look at.

If WMP11 would keep my music folder clean automatically and skip to the song now playing in the list, I don't think I would use anything else until something came out with a feature that would sway me.

I don't even use WMP, I use Winamp and Creative Mediasource, and I've never seen a reason to use anything else. Actually, Winamp crashed my old computer for a while, so I switched to MusicMatch, but MMJB sucks pretty hard. Winamp is brilliant, and if my Zen was more readily compatable, I'd use nothing else.

MusicMatch sucked big time. Resource hog. I can't believe I used that back in the day. I remember setting my alarm for school in MusicMatch. Maybe the only useful thing I ever did with it.
