winamp knows who Tod Dockstader is. Apple "avant-garde" "cutting edge" MY BLACK ASS!

I had to reinstall WMP, and now with the newest version, it loads on start up, and I can't find any options to disable that. HELP.

Lady, if you can't figure out iTunes... Just hit "Enter" and rename it. It's CDDB's (Gracenote's?) fault.

dude why can't they get it right the first time?

three years pass...

On my Media Player 11 half of the album arts are The Cure's Disintegration, for some reason. I've never even played that shit, so what the fuck is going on here?

Perhaps it is some sort of spooky warning, like in a Stephen King novel.

Beware of fat Goths?

stephen king is a foobar man.

Perhaps your house is built on a goth burial ground?

Nobody uses WMP. Install iTunes.

libcrypt, Sunday, 9 March 2008 14:17 (sixteen years ago) link

Winamp for me.

Bodrick III, Sunday, 9 March 2008 14:20 (sixteen years ago) link

Media Monkey for me.

tremendoid, Sunday, 9 March 2008 14:26 (sixteen years ago) link

Hate iTunes. WMP has never actively annoyed me that much that I could be bothered to mess about with other players, but I'm trying out the Quintessential player at the moment and it seems okay.

Noodle Vague, Sunday, 9 March 2008 14:26 (sixteen years ago) link

The polar opposite of iTunes is foobar, so if you hate iTunes, maybe you'd love foobar.

libcrypt, Sunday, 9 March 2008 14:32 (sixteen years ago) link

An OCD pal of mine thinks that foobar should be its own operating system.

libcrypt, Sunday, 9 March 2008 14:35 (sixteen years ago) link

it's like a rubik's cube. don't know why people want to complicate their lives in that way.

tremendoid, Sunday, 9 March 2008 14:36 (sixteen years ago) link

ok maybe ocd explains it.

tremendoid, Sunday, 9 March 2008 14:36 (sixteen years ago) link

Anyway this is all interesting but can anybody answer my original question? I.E. why the fuck is WMP doing that?

Noodle Vague, Sunday, 9 March 2008 14:55 (sixteen years ago) link

It's what we here in the Software Delolopment Industry call a bug.

libcrypt, Sunday, 9 March 2008 17:29 (sixteen years ago) link

I hate iTunes, love WMP

Curt1s Stephens, Monday, 10 March 2008 07:03 (sixteen years ago) link

WMP is pretty much the worst user interface ever

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Monday, 10 March 2008 07:13 (sixteen years ago) link

the Microsoft team is just finding out about people having trouble with their album art database in WMP 11, so it's too soon to ask us amateurs about it :-)

most of the questions here seem to be about how to remove or hide the album art, so I'm sure they know about it by now - fixed in the next update, maybe?
