After trying and trying (I really did try) to like iTunes 11 I have given up on the slow, sluggish, freezing, irritable, and downright awful piece if software.
I have tried (admittedly only for about a week or so) Google's Music service.
My initial impressions are:
1 I like the free service of uploading up to 20000 songs onto their cloud and being able to play them on my laptop & iphone 4 (on 3G network).
(FREE, not the extortionate amount apple want to charge me over my life time)
2 There's sometimes a little lag on playing a song but no spinning wheel, freezing of software and seems bug free.
3 It works. Is free. Is Simple. Doesn't have cover-flow but neither does itunes 11...
I notice a lot a people no longer believing in the Apple philosophy of I have paid a premium price for some hardware/software and expect a premium product.
The three areas I feel let down by apple are:
1their maps - Google Maps is superior
2 like most people- itunes 11
3 I don't like the new iphone 5 connector, I could understand if Apple had gone to miniUsb but this was a move that has made me not upgrade (I have too many accessories)
