I continue to be way hilariously behind the times in how I listen to music, apparently. I don't stream and don't really like it. I just deleted Spotify from my computer.

My first problem is I spend a lot of time on the beach. NIMBYism ensures that the beach has shitty coverage. If I were to stream my music library I'd be listening to silence 70% of the time.

My second problem is Spotify doesn't have half my music.

But my 3rd problem is iTunes sucks a mighty schlong.

I uninstalled iTunes too. My computer sucks hairy balls and if I want to listen to music from it, youtube.

Oh, I still use it. Every day. With TuneUp and BeaTunes installed. But I've tried pretty much everything else and it's no good. My problem with Youtube is it sounds like shit and I want to be able to go "play these three albums NAO" and have it do it without a bunch of clicking around and shit.

Try MusicBee, I switched from iTunes recently and I find it better in almost every way.

Would that I could. I'm on OS X, where iTunes still sucks ass but is nothing like the catastrophe that is iTunes for Windows.
