Media player

I used to be an avid Windows Media Player user since version 7. But ever since the DRM was added in version 9, and some interface changes that made it look better and easier to use, but bitch slow, I switched breifly to WinAmp. WinAmp ran better (although the library was still slow), and had lots and lots of plugins. But I wanted something that was better design, not a flash back to 1990s user interface design. I finally landed on iTunes, which mixes a great interface with speediness and perfect Podcast and iPod integration. Great! iTunes has been the best media player I’ve used for a long time, theres even a program that syncronises my Sony Ericsson W800i phone with it.

Without iTunes, I would’ve never put so much effort into organising my music collection, and in turn finding hidden gems that I would’ve never have listened to with WinAmp or WMP. I seriously recommended it to anyone to try out, what have you got to lose?

    Bloody hell, have you ever tried to read your site? I have to drag the mouse over the text to ‘reverse video’ it.

    I find the contrast fine on the text (and so do anyone else I’ve asked), maybe you need to tweak your monitor.

    I’m afraid I have to agree with “me” mate, it knackered my eyes, i turned off the style in Firefox to read that.

    Well, maybe its just my monitor contrast is set low then (I don’t like super-bright screens). But I do admit that the standard style is easier to read, and seeing as this article is so long I’ll stick to this one for now.

    Also me, you can reveal your identity, criticism is welcome…
