[MetalheadGautham]

I'd suggest not commenting on people's body shapes, sizes or looks.

sorry there. couldn't help it.

Yeah, we all know Arya needs to switch to Kabab Parathey

Apple fruit is GOD. don't insult it. You may however, continue insulting Apple the company.

Why are Linux users whining about this? iTunes is not meant for Linux users anyway. A typical linux user likes to customise stuff and iTunes is just the opposite of that.

Discounting vegetarianism, eh?

The next time you post, please try to read everything. There is no point in adding "PS: I haven't read a thing because it aint useful for me", because its obvious from what you post. In threads in this forum, we don't just barge in and comment something looking at the title. There are other places to do that.

Please keep your big over-zealous head thats shaped like an apple in Some Other Thread and leave us alone.

That was just an explanation for why I wasn’t commenting on the actual content of the thread. My post was only intended to correct praka123’s behaviour and, as you can see, he listened to me and obliged. Thanks to him for that!

Mission complete. I don’t care what’s going on in the rest of the thread and it’s not necessary that I do. I’m not spamming or anything. The postscript was just to repel posts like yours but, obviously, it has proved ineffective.

linux users are not at all whining about this. Its the windows users who want to try linux who are whining about this. Experienced Linux Users are trying to stay as far far away from iTunes as possible, with some like me loathing bloated media management software and instead prefering the likes of Foobar2000, but it stil makes a good item of discussion when we concider marketing stratagies and how products can be expected to perform in different environments, etc.

This thread is more for speculatory if-this-may-happen-then-what style posts. This serves no practical perpose indeed, but it satisfies our lust for hypothetical situations.

real player = badware
iTunes = Nothing spectacular

Exaile = heaven (gnome)
Amarok = heaven (KDE)

Agree with you ..
I got friends using windows who will try Linux , but they all ask me if their ipods will "run" with Linux. And as soon as you tell them "Umm.. yea.but you may experience a few hitches " , they turn around and walk away. So yea- iTunes need not be ported to linux just as amarok need'nt be ported to windows ( but they are still doing it ) Just make a stable app for syncing your ipod with Linux.
