Umm... no... no you don't. iTunes accounts don't cost anything anyway, LOL.

well i mean, it won't "get album art" and then it says to log into my iTunes accout so i tryed creating one and then it says give credit card info for billing. i must have tried signing up for the iTunes store? i dunno. lol!!

Nothing gets charged until you buy something. They just save your info.

WMP and vlc...

iTunes loads your registry with shit, I find alternatives to most apps (I don't run AIM either, I use miranda for IMing...)

my system is VERY streamlined, only 512MB RAM and I play all the latest games because of this...

you know guys...you don't have to download a whole torrent.

i've download pieces. if you only want one track only select that ONE track...its that easy ;) i hear there's lots of crap on limewire, plus it seems like its the place where bad things happen to users. but i dont know much about it so i dunno.

do you pay for limewire? If sSWIM were to use it would it be legal?

nope, no $$ for limewire i just say that so if the "man" is watching he knows i said i payed lol. limewire all u gotta watch out for is don't download songs that are like 1-600kb or something cuz usually they are fakes. & make sure they have the .mp3 format on em nuthin else. other then that ur safe.

oh ok. i used to use kazaa lite. so i vaguely remember it and that brings back memories.

torrents are nice because #1 - you can eaisly find rare stuff, complete stuff, and most trackers require full uploads, not partial disks or singles. less clutter, and if you know what bit rate and format you want to stick with picking and choosing is less of a chore.

#2 - its not just music available..while i dont remember what limewire limits you to. you can get some nice programs on places such as demonoid.

but anyway...i'll have to try some new programs tomorrow.

and by the way..

Poodles - if i delete iTunes it should clean up my registry, correct?
and how do you know its making things messy? i'd like to be able to check these things myself but i'm not sure what i should look for.

I didn't think I was for real, but Foobar really does have better sound quality stock for stock. Winamp sounds "fuzzy" where as Foobar is clear and the bass comes through a little better. Any one got any other suggestions before I get modding Foobar?
