ITunes Player
Dane, you mentioned about the ITunes media plakyer, but can you access music content on the web with that as a media player? I don't use ITunes yet, but may soon. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

I hope you enjoy it.

Windows Media is pretty accessible. However it still won't allow one to do things like going to a specific point in a file, just by typing in a command as Winamp does!

Re: ITunes Player
Maybe that's also why I mentioned the ITunes player, because I don't know how accessible it is. People mention Fubar, but I've never tried it, so I don't know how accessible it is compared to Winamp.

Re: ITunes Player
Yes I can understand where you're coming from there, iTunes is not my main player, I use VLC to play CD'S and just about everything else given that VLC allows for better quality audio as it uses its own audio decoders and encoders, can easily play a wider variety of formats etc. Where itunes comes into its own is - as I think you were illuding to - its online integration with the store, Internet Radio, I use the "Match" and iTunes radio music services often and so forth. It used to be that earlier versions of iTunes supported external plug-ins , at one time you could play FLAC format etc with iTunes but that ability seems to have gone which is a shame, guess the only saving grace that FLAC - being a lossless audio format - can be converted to Lossless M$a format which iTunes will play happily.

Re: ITunes Player
Well, I'm not in a position to be able to use an "audio system." My PC and the headphones I use to listen to music are my audio system. So the only bass and treble controls I have are in whatever player I use to play music. Hence my concern with an equalizer. I do intend to check out iTunes at some point. I've heard many good things about it, but I'm in no hurry. Unless some new audio format comes along with content that I really really want to listen to, or I get a new PC with an OS that doesn't support Winamp, I think I'll stick with it for a while yet.

This is only me but the playing of files and formats and accessibility is more important to me than equalisers, if worst comes to worst and you're into that sort of thing then you can adjust bass and treble controls on your audio system.

RE: ITunes Player
I don't think you understand; while these players may be accessible, will they allow one to do _all_ the things that Winamp does? Wil they, for example, start listening to a file; then you have to stop in the middle; will they let you go in and pick up right where you left off? Windows Media Player won't; at least as far as I know it won't! Can't speak for some of the others as I've not tried them! But this is my concern as I want to be able to start listening to a show and be able to stop it; then go to the point where I stopped listening later on! If these other players will do this easily, fine!

Re: ITunes Player
Itunes certainly has an equaliser though I'm not sure how many bands are featured. This is only me but the playing of files and formats and accessibility is more important to me than equalisers, if worst comes to worst and you're into that sort of thing then you can adjust bass and treble controls on your audio system.

Re: ITunes Player
Yes you can. I don't have iTunes myself, but I've been to sites that have links to listen to streams that are marked iTunes and (often) Winamp, both mentioned for the same stream. For example, you can set your Shoutcast streams to play in iTunes. Sometimes they're mentioned in separate links, but it's the same address. For instance, The Legend Oldies has a link to listen in Winamp and another for iTunes, but they're the same stream. I know because when I click on the link to play the iTunes stream, it plays in Winamp, and the bookmark is the same address.

Re: ITunes Player
I can assure you that iTunes and VLC have Graphic Equalisers in them and I would imagine that Windows Media Player would have similar, some sound cards and the Windows sound system itself usually offer bass and treble controls though how accessible these may be can very much depend on the sound card you're using. Only me of course but when I'm listening through headphones I've certainly never found it necessary to use an equaliser, flat is good enough but I appreciate that everyone is different. On 22/11/2013 3:38 AM, Evan Reese wrote: Well, I'm not in a position to be able to use an "audio system." My PC and the headphones I use to listen to music are my audio system. So the only bass and treble controls I have are in whatever player I use to play music. Hence my concern with an equalizer. I do intend to check out iTunes at some point. I've heard many good things about it, but I'm in no hurry. Unless some new audio format comes along with content that I really really want to listen to, or I get a new PC with an OS that doesn't support Winamp, I think I'll stick with it for a while yet.

Re: ITunes Player
Thanks. - Original Message - From: "Evan Reese" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2013 1:30 PM Subject: Re: ITunes Player Yes you can. I don't have iTunes myself, but I've been to sites that have links to listen to streams that are marked iTunes and (often) Winamp, both mentioned for the same stream. For example, you can set your Shoutcast streams to play in iTunes. Sometimes they're mentioned in separate links, but it's the same address. For instance, The Legend Oldies has a link to listen in Winamp and another for iTunes, but they're the same stream. I know because when I click on the link to play the iTunes stream, it plays in Winamp, and the bookmark is the same address.

No problem! Up until recently I wouldn't have even suggested Windows users look at iTunes but we've come a long way in a very short time, access has improved a hundred fold, interface has been cleaned up and so on.

Re: ITunes Player
Yes iTunes works brilliantly under Windows now than it ever has. I just do not use it as a player but rather as an online catalogue for anything audio and to import CDs which I later play in Winamp.
