If someone doesnt have an iPOD what's the use of the iPODservice in the application? can we remove it?

If you don't have an iPod then I'd use a better media player like Winamp :rolleyes:

IMO iTunes is only a necessity if you have a iPod. I find it pretty sluggish and not as well designed as Winamp.

Geee, can Winamp broadcast via wireless network to a set of speakers or a stereo somewhere else in your house? And can it interface with the leading online music store? Nope, didn't think it could.

Well if Winamp started manufacturing Airport Express too then NATURALLY they'd need a program to interface the damn thing? Interfacing with a wireless broadcaster isn't any achievement, for a start you need to hardware before iTunes will even take advantage of it :rolleyes:

And can it interface with the leading online music store? Nope, didn't think it could.

Again, if Winamp wanted to open an online shop to make $$$ then yes, they could do that as well.

So here let me re-phrase that again for you

If you don't have AirPort Express/urge to pay for music then I'd use a better media player like Winamp

And FYI there are plugins which allow Winamp to do better things such as have IR remote controls, LED outputs etc. Again its all about hardware. However given the choice, I'd rather use a computer with a sweet sound system attached then re-streaming over crappy quality radio waves ;)

As much as an Apple Fanboy as I am, winamp is a better media playing on windows then iTunes currently is.

If it were not for the iPod support (and now airtunes), I would only use XMMS on OS X. iTunes is good, but I prefer a smaller and simpler player.

It's over wifi though - so it's data streaming, if I am right - which means there should be lossless quality.

Yep, it uses Apple Lossless, so if you rip things in that format originally, the Quality should be identical or better then a CD player playing the original disk. (Better meaning optical out compared to analogue on most CD players)

I had the same error when i had MSI 3 installed when i was installing Armericas Army so i uninstalled it and when back to MSI 2 and the error went away :D

Give it a go and see if the error gos away

I'm getting the same error aswell, how do I revert back to MSI 2.

I've got a feeling I installed MSI 3 because I have the beta version of that windows update thing, and I might have installed MSI 3 by accident.

edit: found it in add/remove programs...sorry

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
