Homer- rips your eyeballs out

Nice... But that's just yet another piece of bloatware... imo.

This looks promising. They just need to work on the interface a bit but overall, it's not bad.

I've been using it for a while. It's still pretty buggy, but I like it overall. The program is pretty bloated though, not as bad as iTunes, but still pretty bad. It installs a ridiculous amount of files on your computer, but that's because it does so much stuff. It's a web browser and has VLC built in and Quicktime and such. I wish they would make a music only version to slim it down.

Its a good app but without an EQ this is useless

Another iTunes but not a bad start. I'll wait until the 1.x's come out.

I still feel this app slow and heavy but that may be because have been using Billy Player for so long
