Congratulations to our winners this week!
Best rookie performance by Shogun and pattern86
(special exception this week, since both new users were worthy -- both get the priz...
Yeah, and the closest google result is a guy saying "I spent a while trying to fix this problem and didn't have any success. I ended up reformatting the hard drive and reinstalled from scratch. Everything is working fine now"
For some reason, songs in my itunes library are listed twice. Note: It is the exact same song just referenced twice, so removing one of the songs will keep one reference in the library but delete the song efficiently making the remaining song just a dead link.
this is similar to other superuser ...
My guess is that this will not be implemented as the percentage of users that checks this is rather small.
As my interest lies in this and writing user scripts I decided to write one to simplify it now:
The user script can be obtained here, the source here,
it works for both Google Chrome and Fi...
@Sathya A program called Dupin. Mac only I think but it allowed me to choose actual duplicates instead of just song title because he had 3 or 4 different versions of some songs and wanted to keep the different versions but get rid of the extra files he accidentally imported.
@Sathya iTunes is just plain odd. Part UI playground, a dash of music playing, a massive helping of feature creep attached to a trailer of resource hungriness.
@Josh It's decidely un-Windows like. Suspect that's where most of the hatred comes from - not being extensible enough and the sheer bloat of features it has now.
I wouldn't say I like it anymore but I use it every day on my Mac.
@Chaeleon @Sathya @Josh I used WMP first, then moved to the Zune Software because it worked out much better for organizing and it's a gorgeous UI compared to WMP. But at one day I went to iTunes for the smart playlist behavior, the rest works out fine too... It's less bloated as in the past and I don't find it annoying in any way if you just disable the services that come with it. But well, I'll stay with it as long as it fits my needs...
Haven't seen another player that tends to work for me, maybe one day I would...
I'm a bit against Apple, but strange enough I love to use iTunes. :-)
Years ago that program was responsible for breaking up your computer... Like your CD drive disappearing because the iTunes Upper Filter Driver is misbehaving. xD
I heard Foobar 2000 has smart playlists, but it looks a bit too simple as far as I can see...
Winamp and Songbird are nice players too but they don't work out for me as much as Zune Software and iTunes would do.
Smart playlists are nice... e.g. If you are bored of hearing the same songs over: Play those songs that are better than X stars and that you haven't heard the last X months.
That's my view on it, it's not the best as I miss lots of other features.
But as with anything (whether it be hardware, software, gadgets, ...): It's a personal choice... :-)
returns to the last 12 hard pages of Linear Algebra.*ugh*
Not to forget the proofs I have to study after it... :-(
