iTunes Alternatives

iTunes Alternatives
As the comment section from our recent post about the latest iTunes update shows, not everyone is in love with iTunes. Especially for Windows users, the program can be buggy, hog memory/system resources and it tries to force users to organize and store their music in a certain way (hey, some of us have very specific, if a bit arcane, organizational methods and we don't want iTunes to force us to put everything in "My Music" in artist/album folders).

The program's strength lies with its perfect integration with the iPod and the iTunes Store (which for all intents and purposes, IS iTunes the application).

Play Tagger: Make MP3 links playable

Play TaggerPlay Tagger is a handy little tool from the makers of del.icio.us that puts a little Flash "Play" button next to every link on a page that goes to an MP3 file. It comes in two flavors: The first is an HTML snippet that you can put on your own web site. The second is a bookmarklet that you can use to transform MP3 links on other people's web sites with one click. Free, of course.
