got damn it gets slower and slower w/ every new version. It bogs down my whole computer, gah.

My comp isnt that slow either.. an Athlon 64 3500 w/ a gig of ram *shrug*.

Make it go faster, Tech Talk.

how about just dont use that shit

7/15/2007 3:31:11 PM

That's why I use Winamp, and only use iTunes if I must. It runs okay on my computer, but I can definitely tell that it slows down a lot, especially after it's been open for a while.

I use it because I inherited an iPod

It seems like it just got really bad in the last few version updates. even 7.0 was ok, but 7.2 and now 7.3 is horrible. i've rebooted twice in the past ten minutes.

7/15/2007 3:37:23 PM

I would actually say the opposite, I had switched about a year ago to WMP because it seemed to use less resources, but recently iTunes has been much better for me.


Athlon 64 400+
3 gigs ram.

there is some incompatibility issue that people here posted about when 7.0 came out. something about changing the sampling frequency or something in quicktime, otherwise itunes would crash and/or make some screeching sound.

just throwing that out there to make sure it isn't that.

7/15/2007 3:45:53 PM

yeah i've used wmp forever now, but wmp 11 sucks balls, stick with 10

7/15/2007 3:51:25 PM

FTW

7/15/2007 3:57:15 PM

looks like its ipodservice.exe that at fault. as soon as i kill it everything is coo. unfortunately, it stays open after you close itunes so you have to manually kill it. it didnt do this before so something must be up

7/15/2007 4:06:00 PM

ipodservice.exe is what detects the ipod.. and of course my ipod isnt detecting either.. gah

7/15/2007 4:26:14 PM

You can use winamp for your ipod...

7/15/2007 4:33:31 PM

winamp for the fucking win, Dan Durusky.

7/15/2007 6:06:50 PM

Funny, I've never had any issues with iTunes...

7/16/2007 12:28:09 AM

Winamp 2.95 here too, dear god I hate iTunes. And Winamp 5

7/16/2007 12:58:58 AM

for me...theres about a 10 second lag from when i choose a song and i can do ANYTHING else in itunes, like change the volume

7/16/2007 1:46:17 AM

no problems here

7/16/2007 1:48:12 AM

winamp 2.95

7/16/2007 2:33:06 AM

just stop updating

anything past v6.0 sucks

I have 0 issues with itunes

7/16/2007 4:03:21 AM

i don't have an ipod (and therefore no itunes), but i like the library function of winamp 5

*shrug*

7/16/2007 6:58:38 AM

I have no ipod and I love itunes

*shrug*

7/16/2007 7:05:12 AM

btw, I went back to 7.2 and its working properly now. I guess it could either be the clean install or somethings wrong w/ 7.3

7/16/2007 9:02:12 AM

iTunes for Windows blows... it's just Steve Jobs trying to force everyone to switch to Mac.

Although I love my Macs...

7/16/2007 9:08:35 AM

I dunknow- i've had issues with 7.1 and i'm so fed up. I'd go to winamp except I need something that talks to the Ipod, going to be trying anapod when i get back in town and we'll see how that goes.

7/16/2007 12:41:23 PM

I can honestly say I've never had an issue with iTunes on Mac or PC.
