    The thing with which any program beats iTunes is the fact they're all not iTunes.

    Also, yeah, Winamp is just dope. It just works.

    I use to use Winamp for FLAC files, but I haven't used it in a long time. I've always loved iTunes because it displays the artwork so well (and it syncs up with my phone), even though it works like shit on Windows.

    iTunes "just works" as well though from what I can tell.

    Agree with @Gibs about artwork. Main draw for me.

    I use Zune, I think graphicly it is one of the most beautiful prices of software and I like it's ability to get metadata, artist pictures etc... iTunes I always felt like was too bulky

    Devin Townsend is going to be playing his best album live next year in Plovdiv in honor of its 20 year anniversary (possibly with an orchestra). That motherfucker BETTER record it for a live DVD! :samuel:

    I personally see no value in listening to live performances via sound recording honestly.

    It all depends on the recording quality, and peformance. For example, Devin Townsend's live record Ziltoid Live at the Royal Albert Hall is absolutely amazing. A lot of tracks are even better than their studio counterparts.



    Live records are also valuable for people in places where their favorite bands almost never come, you spoiled American cunt. :kappa:

    Plus, live peformances can capture a type of energy you could never get jn a studio recording sometimes.

    Exactly my point. Bands come to America all the time, yet you've only been to one. Poor kids in Africa would LOVE to go to those concerts! :kappa:

    I really need to try finishing a demo, I always end up being dissatisfied with it and grabbing a couple of parts and rewriting it. I don't think I've ever got a putting lyrics on anything
