I haven't seen iTunes Win since 2006 but at the time, I recall wondering why you'd run it over, say, Winamp. I'm not surprised to hear it's gotten worse.

On the plus side there are viable alternatives on the Win side. On the Mac side?

Not so much.

Right... but if I want to keep a library organized, share the XML over the network, control it remotely via my phone or sync it with my devices, I still need iTunes. That's the real problem with everything on the Mac side - iTunes is damn near an extension of the Finder, which means you can't do shit without it.

It sucks.

Oh yeah I agree. Never had to deal with that because I sync to an iPod and don't extend my library elsewhere, but Mac is not the place to do it if I wanted to.
