iTunes alternative?

Songbird. Free, opensource, multiplatform with nice UI, changeable themes and many plugins:

I have tried Songbird, but it just doesn't like my iTunes library and hangs during initial configuration.

Looks like a nice app though.

was it the latest version? I believe 1.0 and 1.1.1 fixed many bugs...

I'm using Songbird on Linux and it's pretty good. It was dog slow on earlier versions but now it's pretty fast.

It's too bad they dropped official PPC support 🙁

Replacement for iTunes

Can anyone recommend a good replacement for iTunes?

You do know that lots of regular users and DJs use iTunes because it's easy to use and it has great features such as smart list and instant search?

You probably just need to take 10 minutes to learn the basics.

I agree! Why would you want to replace iTunes? It's certainly not perfect, but anything else would be a step down. Take the time to learn how it works and you won't be wanting a replacement.

there are only 2 good alternatives

1. songbird its nice, i don't like it but is not that bad, reminds me of earlier versions of mediamonkey

2. Amarok the best music software in all OS ever made

the only problem is that both are still in beta and are a little heavy for mac, i have just a little taste of my music in my MacBook and my huge 200 gigas(a lot of flacs) music collection in my linux desktop under the king Amarok 😀
