I've used it on 512 meg machines before and it lagged things (especially games).

Note: I think the iTunes music store, like all "legal" downloading sites are terrible. Albums are meant to be albums, and record labels shouldn't make bands pay packaging and labeling costs for digital purchases, yet they do.

I also don't think anything made by Apple is flawless and perfect. Do I prefer it to Microsoft based stuff? Yes, but that's just cuz it works better for me, I'm not one of those "Everyone should use a Mac" people. Can't stand iPods for example. Killing the music industry if you ask me.

Love iPods. One of the best purchases I ever made. I have 1800 songs on my little portable iPod so far. All CD quality music that I can take anywhere and listen anyway I want. None of those dinky little 128MB MP3 players like my brother has. And I have enough room for a total of 5000 songs on it. And I got it for less than $300. Actually, I own or used to own the albums for 80% of the music on it (don't see how the iPod hurts the music industry anymore than anything else). For one thing, it doesn't skip (like a CD player does) and, for another, it can carry much much more than a CD player. It's also much smaller than a CD player. And the batteries are rechargable. And I can play games on it and select by genre, band, album, year, etc.

Ever since I bought my iPod, I rarely use MP3 players on my computer. I just plug my iPod into my computer speakers and play through that.

When I do use MP3 Players, I use neither Winamp nor iTunes (although I have both). I use MusicMatch Jukebox. The reason why is because I like the layout of the library and the way the AutoDJ works.

Top 5 best purchases I ever made: My "denshi jisho" (portable electric dictionary with 6 different dictionaries in it, English-Japanese, Japanese-English, Japanese-Japanese, Kanji-Japanese, and a dictionary full of random things), my iPod, my Gibson Les Paul, My Ibanez RG1527, and my laptop. I use those 5 things pretty much every day.

Ah, see, I love winamp, ever since I first downloaded it. I love the skins, I love the free EQ, I love that it's simple and to the point. 99% of the games I play on my machine are full screen, and kill the use of an Mp3 player. I also rip CDs in a particular way, so I never have to think about sorting. lol

I am slightly worried by AOL buying it, but they buy everything now-a-days. As long as the original guys run it, I'm okay. lol

I refuse to buy an Ipod or Mp3 player. I have a Sony CD walkman that plays Mp3s as well, and that's enough for me. Apple and M$ can kiss my butt, I hold no loyality to either, since both have screwed me on different occations.
