Why would you want an alternative?

I literally bought a Mac just so it was more intuitive and compatible with iTunes. No other reason.

I never implied anything at all, are actually trying to upset me? Or are you carrying a conversation from another thread because if so then I must have forgotten.

I can download music go my phone as well btw. I can then easily organize my music by moving files around in a file explorer and maybe download an album cover if it's missing.

What he's saying is it functions like one. In fact an android phone so extremely similar to a PC that it no longer needs one. You can download your music directly from the web and organize it on your android phone WITHOUT having to connect to a PC.

Holy shit just get an android phone you massive cucks. This is one of the reasons I sold my iPhone 6 and got an S7.

Yes, I am aware of that. Thanks.

What I'm saying is that the ease of use is like the difference between using a flamethrower versus rubbing two pieces of plastic together to start a fire.

Nobody in their right mind would use a fucking smartphone as their primary media download and organisation system.

You'd be surprised. A modern android phone with a microsd slot covers about 99% of tasks you would do on a PC. You can now torrent, use desktop versions of webpages, and multi-task. The average normie is getting most things done on his phone now.

Have you not noticed pc/mac sales going down?

Tell them you can't do it because it's broken and it's apple's fault. Technically it is since they design such a hamfisted pile of shit they call an ecosystem.

Yes it's so much worse than the Windows ecosystem. No wait, Windows blows and Linux is even worse for music library management, sharing, encoding, etc.

I have a Powerbook G4 from 2001 that happily plays the music library shared from a new Mac Mini. On a Mac at least iTunes is a pretty lightweight piece of software. With Windows you're running a whole environment like WINE which provides you with the Cocoa / Carbon libraries needed to run your software.

Its user interface awful and its bloated and slow.
>>
>>54196583
>Its user interface awful
It's a literal list of songs, tracks, etc, with a sidebar you can hide or show with your playlists.

That's it anon. There is other fancy shit and a visualizer so you can space out when stoned, etc, just like all the other meme music player software too.

>and its bloated and slow
Maybe on Windows anon, on OS X it's hardly bloated or slow.

It's running a gigantic OS X library set on Windows in the Yellowbox environment. On OS X it doesn't need that, as the OS provides all the libraries, it's just some glue code. Not bloated at all.

I use it and have for what, 15 years now? 10:1 my music library is vastly larger than yours too. It's 95% legally ripped from my own CDs or otherwise legally obtained too.
>>
>>54196626
I haven't even noticed bloat nor slowness on Windows. I recently moved my entire library to the PC that I just built and it's incredibly responsive and snappy, far more so than my MacBook Pro from last year.
I know that it used to be slow and unreliable but I think they've made substantial improvements in the last couple of versions to the point that I think it works fast enough for my needs.

You know, my only issue with iTunes is that half of my music was acquired through different sources so it's not going to be organized properly. I do like the UI but then again half of the media players out there have something similar.

Now, Cog is good too. The kode54 fork of that supports really random music formats that most players just won't by default. It's a pretty simplistic player though.

Musicbee is the best if you want it to look good out of the box and still be customizable with themes and plugins.
