ITunes

"But now, let's get to the main point about iTunes. It's an evolving beast, always pestering you with updates!"

- BS Man

iTunes is a media player and library, Internet radio broadcaster, mobile device management utility, and client app for the iTunes store, developed by Apple. It is used to purchase, play, download, and organize multimedia on Windows and macOS. It can also be used to rip songs from CDs, as well as play content from dynamic, smart playlists.

Why It Sucks Now

 * 1) Apple is constantly updating it. Almost once a week when you open the program to listen to your digital jukebox, you'll see a message notifying you that a new update is available. If you choose to update, you have to go through the long process of downloading and installing the update. Once you open iTunes after updating, it's almost always a as you'll end up finding something is different.
 * 2) iTunes used to have a feature where you could burn playlists to CDs with the convenience of a button. The button was removed in later versions as many people aren't burning CDs nowadays. You now have to go to the File menu and choose Burn Playlist to Disc. There's no hotkey for it.
 * 3) The program is a software bloat on Windows as it is part of Apple's efforts to make it an all-encompassing media platform.
 * 4) The program is riddled with commercials for other albums as a way to drain your wallet.
 * 5) If you don't have an Apple ID, the program can corrupt itself and erase all of your music.
 * 6) If you purchase music from the iTunes Store and for legal reasons, you can only authorize up to five computers.
 * 7) This is a requirement if you want to import music onto an iPhone, iPad, or iPod.
 * 8) mh:goodsoftware:Spotify exists, which has most of the features it does and more, so not a lot of people use it nowadays.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) It's still a pretty good media player, compared to Windows Media Player.
