Well... I thought I should post the solution I found, since somebody might find this useful.

I am using the foo_dop component for Foobar2000, and it works like a charm; the only annoying thing is that you actually have to install iTunes, which is really unfortunate but there's obviously no way to get around that it seems... at least I don't need to launch it and disabled the gazillions processes it launches at boot time. It even puts coverflow covers if you have external cover jpg in your mp3 folder, pretty complete if you ask me.

All right, hope this will help anybody else who's just disgusted at iTunes like I am.

Hehehe, would you believe it? I think my whole day has been one major Deja Vu. Ok a couple threads up or down from here there is another labelled "What do you think?" This thread is a about a guy who is revamping a program called GT-iMedia (and needed some fresh ideas which is how I got involved). The program is free and despite looking a little too much like iTunes to make you comfortable buddy, it is worth a look and GygaSoft has on their site the latest avaliable version is 3.4.something or rather around that. It does all the things iTunes does (well all the good things you want) and serves as a COMPLETE replacement. If you can get a friend to use it aswell, from what I'm guessing, it also bypasses the annoying sync requirement which otherwise erases your iPod/Phone/Touch, and allows you to just drag and drop, meaning you can get al those songs from your friend w/o shunting them back home on a USB stick.

It's worth a look.

Peace out man.

Mediamonkey is definitely the best music manager and it supports my iPhone 3GS.

However, it's not free. It's $30 for a 3.x license and $40 for a lifetime license. If you want freeware, then Winamp is the best alternative. It even features file monitoring and is not a resource hog like iTunes.

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for Dark Scrolls, Empulse, and more

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for Dark Scrolls, Empulse, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final update of June for Nvidia's cloud gaming service GeForce NOW is now available, and it is touting support for six more games. The company is also drawing subscriber attention towards the summer sales kicking off across stores, so they can stock up on more cloud-supported titles. Of course, the Steam Summer Sale is the biggest promotion, which is kicking off later today. "Supported Steam games can be streamed across devices with GeForce NOW, making it easy to buy a game once, keep progress synced and pick up where the gameplay left off on PCs, Macs, handheld devices, phones, TVs and more," says the company. "In other words, the Steam Summer Sale brings the deals; GeForce NOW adds the flexibility." Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active as well. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, available June 22) SAND: Raiders of Sophie (New release on Steam, available June 22) Deer & Boy (New release on Steam, available June 23) EMPULSE (New release on Steam, available June 24) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) With the June expansions coming to an end, Nvidia should be announcing its July GeForce NOW plans next week. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent

      By sagum · Posted

      Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.
