I have something like 7000 tracks. converting them all would take ages. And WMA's did me fine all these years!
I'm fine with this jetAudio thing (works rather well) and my non apple MP3 player.

Yeah, JetAudio is far more user friendly than iTunes. It'll play any form of audio or video as long as you have the codec installed. So, thanks to a good codec pack, I don't need iTunes Real Windows Media Player installed at all. It also records audio, which is pretty handy. | |

Jesus goddamn christ, RealPlayer is the only thing worse than Itunes. Horrible memories of Real-only files.

iTunes isn't bad at all as a music manager, it's maybe a bit much if all your wanting is a player (especially on windows).
foobar is still the buisness though. | |

the full version JetAudio also has all the Media Manager stuff, as well as audio/video converter and a shitload of other stuff. You can even broadcast from it. Well worth torrenting. Quote:

Before the iPlayer all the BBC stuff was RealPlayer, so it took about 10 seconds to look in the Properties and find the direct link to whatever you were streaming at the time - then convert it to a decent format.

I have the anger at iTunes.
Winamp works fine, it's just not very pretty.

You'd have been better getting hold of a standalone conversion program, the converter in iTunes is shit. | |

I don't really give much of a shite as long as music comes out my laptop.
Have been forced on to iTunes anyway for the time being.
