People knock Microsoft, Apple should be shot for ITunes!!

How is it bloatware? It's fast, never crashes or locks the PC and it does exactly what it says on the tin (except sync with an ipod!!)

It sucks

ITunes is the worst bit if software that I've ever had the displeasure of using!

It's slow!
Brings my PC to a grinding halt! (I've got a super fast PC and loads of Memory!!)
Annoying
Rubbish
arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!

Windows Media Player is so much better and faster!!

In iTunes 7 you can get artwork but you have to create an account which means supplying credit card details! I have and will never buy music from iTunes store!!!

I know there is other threads praising it but I wanted to rant!!

Itunes, just like anything else associated with that halfwit Jobs is crap - end of

It sucks. It's slow loading into memory. It's slow to start playing the file. It's slow closing the file. It's slow unloading from memory. It crashes. It's constantly phoning home to daddy. It has about 3 codecs built in. Doesn't play Xvid without downloading additional codecs, which it can never find on the net when it looks...Shall I go on?

For video it's all about the VLC. For audio it's all about anything except the WMP. I find that people who 'love' WMP also use Internet Explorer.

Itunes is ok if you us it just for very basic use. On my laptop i only have 20gb of memory, so i was storing my music on the mass sotrage devcie on our wireless network and then telling itunes to look for the music on there. It wors great once its set up. But ha;lf the time it forgets that its upposed to be looking there or knows itis and wont work anyway. It does also bring my laptop to a stand still, and even my main pc, which is very high spec has issues with it sometimes. Some times i love it, sometimes i hate it. I had it from the start with v1 as i have one of the first ipods nad in fairness it has come a very very long way since then.

20GB of memory? Fook Mi

Upgraded to v7 at weekend, what a load of crap, must have been QA'd by a group of school children on crack, never seen anything so buggy

Looking at the apple forums it looks like theres loads of issues, including details on how to regress to v6
