edit: good to go, foobar is sexy, thanks for all the help guys!
I had a Zune. Which is a magical device that can use WMP, which is my favorite music player. Unfortunately Zunes are buggy sacks of shit so mine died. Luckily my Dad is an asshole and he kept an iPod that a hotel mailed to him thinking he had left it there, so he gave it to me.
Now I have an iPod. But to use it, I have to use iTunes.
Fuck.
I download iTunes, and I get a bunch of this shit.

What do you mean you cant find it? It's in the folder you want it to be in. iTunes/iTunes Music/BOOM there is is. Fine whatever, let's go looking for it, manually.

FanFUCKINGtastic. I can play that song, and I'm sure this didn't do anything to my VERY METICULOUSLY ORGANIZED MUSIC FOLDER

Shit X_X

What is this shit. Why can't iTunes just automatically update like every other player in my life. I have a shit load of music, I don't want to go thru and manually open it in iTunes, and I download a SHITTON of music, so having to manually open each freaking album is going to suck.
Is there a way to fix this? Please tell me there is T_T

Hey iTunes is gay. i completely agree. couldnt stand it x_x..
awesome dad though
|
What you could try is CTRL + A your entire Music folder that you want, then drag and drop into Music under library..
Delete everything in your Library at the moment first though.

oh DO explain ^_____^ if you can, I'd appreciate it

yeah itunes is a bloated piece of crap :[
|
Just so you know, iTunes doesn't require every single one of your songs to be in some exact folder that you think.. My music is all over the place? Just add file and add it in, it doesn't matter where it is..
|
I don't quite understand, but you can just drag and drop files right? So just select all your songs and drag and drop once. Unless your songs are all in random places, which i guess that would suck. I have all my music organized though, for this very reason.

YOU DON'T NEED EVERYTHING IN THE iTunes Music FOLDER. OPEN ITUNES. DRAG FOLDER/SONGS IN FOLDER INTO ITUNES MUSIC LIBRARY.
I AM YELLING AT YOU OVER THE INTERNET.

|

lol what he said. drag whatever shit you want into itunes, but make sure you drag the folder from wherever you organize your music from because if you try to move shit around you have to relocate the files and shit and its really gay.

I agree with using foobar2000.
I also found MediaMonkey to be decent. It actually syncs with iPhone, even after WinAmp's plugin gave up trying =]

Don't even mess with itunes and all that crap. Install rockbox, and you'll get a way better OS for your ipod, and it'll make your ipod show up as a regular drive so you can copy your files to it. It also plays every filetype you can imagine.

what is the best PC media player ?
i'm "in the market" for one
|
audio; foobar2000 by far
video; J.River media center. (if you wanna organize tons of videos)
media player classic (from CCCP's codec pack) if you wanna just play just about any video...but without organizing stuff.
|
im trusting your judgement sheepy
|
i try to stay away from itunes do im not raging at my computer so much 
and i'd go with rogdor, that seems like th ebest thing to do
