What's the best iTunes alternative for Windows 7?

Asked by Paul (2717points) May 29th, 2011

iTunes is always slow and buggy when using it on Windows. Are there any alternatives that can also sync with my iPod and acess my iTunes purchases?

CopyTrans

I don’t even have iTunes on the new computer, and I use CopyTrans to support two different iPods.

Here’s a recent rundown of readers’ favorite music players at lifehacker. The favorite was WinAmp.

I haveMedia Monkey, but then I have over a 1TB of music, and I hate messed-up tags. I’m super-organized.

@FPSMadPaul I actually must say that I do like what Microsoft has done with Zune, though I do agree that it was crap in the beginning. Now however, I find it to be very nice. I am much more satisfied with my Zune HD than I ever was with the crap called iTouch.

Im a huge hugeeeeee fan of Winamp. IMO a far better music player than most out there and works great with the iPod. And unlike stupid piece of junk iTunes, Winamp actually allows you to transfer music off your iPod onto your computer if you so wish. It also comes preloaded with Milkdrop which is the most beautiful visualizer ive ever seen.

@uberbatman How do you go about separating podcasts from music though?

I cant say there as I dont listen to any podcasts at all but i feel like there has to be some way. Maybe someone else knows.

Another vote for MediaMonkey.

I used to use songbird back when I had ubuntu. I liked that program quite a bit but still winamp has something to it that makes it better IMO. Cant say what that something is though lol
