| How can a music player suck? It stores and plays your music. I don't see what's bad with that. |

Very handy, nice and minimalistic. A perfect representation of Blackbox for windows. |
Ahh, yeah I used that before. I just don't like config via RC files. Such a pain in the ass. And too much usual shell stuff just doesn't work properly, or the way you would expect it to. |

That is like saying, how can lipstick suck. You put it on, and it just enhances your lips. It has to do with stuff below the surface. |

that's just half the things we worry about when it comes to music players. the other half is what some 1337ists complain about. |

Or just people who want more versatility of audio and video formats? |

| If you care THAT much about your music player you're a loser. |

for a regular user, it's not an issue. for a user who uses computers more than the average joe like you and i, it is an issue. :p
that part is part of the other half i talked about. |

| iTunes sorts your music for you into a library. If you don't like that then just turn it off, I don't understand why people say it's ty lol. |

It's ty because it's simple yet somehow quite bloated. It tries to do too much. Many other music players do a good job of sorting your music into a library, but iTunes often assumes you want to do something and does it automatically without your approval. If you want a music player that does everything without all the unneccessary bells and whistles, try winamp or foobar2000. |

| The UI on Foobar is pants. Does Winamp sort/create a library now? I didn't know that. What are some of the things iTunes does without approval? |
