they've been in there for ages. Apple will never support WMA, do you think MS would turn around and throw AAC into windows media player?

and vorbis won't be supported either although there are plugins for the mac, so you can play Ogg files

AAC isn't an Apple format, it's like MP3 only newer. WMP supports MP3 doesn't it?

There's nothing stopping Microsoft from developing a WMA plugin for Quicktime, and there already is one for OGG. And those work in iTunes.

No, you can only rip your CD's to WMA, but there are plugins for MP3 encoding...:D

add files 100 at a time until you figure out which 'batch' is causing itunes to crash. When you figure out which file is to blame - take a look at the id3 tags (the names of the tags as well as the content). Try clearing the tags out and importing the song again. Send some feedback to apple and they'll get this fixed in the 4.1.1 upgrade.

what a crappy program... damn... I cant believe it... Its worse than windows media player 9. And you think that M$ makes the best boatware out there, huh?. Well you aint seen nothing...

I cant understand why the ppl that use apple is so excited?? with this crap. I cant undestand. Oh well. I can understand. They cant see nothing more than this sh*t.

Someone tell an excellent? (ROFL) idea. If you wanna run the store (haha, wtf?) you better turn off your norton firewall!!.

Two of the most bloatware existing today. And this is nothing compared with the upcomming "new" applications (nothing really change but the requirements).

According with zerolimit iTunes uses 298MB!!. Look that!.

OMG, nothing is enough??.

DAMN.

I can see the near future with crappy likes this running on super machine with 2GB of main memory and saying, "Not enough memory".

Ahhh Of course it has the lastest (stupid) animations and you can buy anything!!... haha. I wonder how is the DB of apple now... But something is sure, they are getting more and more data. Every minute, every second. Yes, now when you are reading this. And that will never stop :D

Bloatware? Apple?

Just a tip for people who want support for Ogg files:

Go to http://qtcomponents.sourceforge.net and download the Win32-oggvorbis.zip file. Then unzip the qtx file from the archive into C:\WINDOWS\system32\QuickTime, and you have OGG support in iTunes.

:D

The only problem is it pauses for 30 seconds before it finally plays the file :(

I'm kinda wondering why Apple hasn't included support for it.

It is open source after all, and they seem to like that now.

I wonder if this will turn out just to be a fad for Windows users. :/

I downloaded it and am using it now as a matter of fact, but I don't know if it'll stay on my system despite there being parts of it I like (volume leveling, great library). I think because it is so very different from other software out there that it grabs a lot of attention, but will it hold with so many other offerings on Windows.

Good lord!

Yeah, unfortunately, I think it's gonna sound like that, because I thought previews were full quality. Unless they changed it, I don't think there's much you can do. That song doesn't do well compressed anyways :s

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
