After 13 years I'm finally ditching iTunes

It's OK. But it's pulling your tunes from the cloud instead of your pc so the quality is going to vary with your internet connection. Not a huge deal I guess.
But now I'm going to have to check out this Google subscription service so it may all be a moot point!
I used Rhapsody for 9 years. It was generally good, but had a clunky pc application and cost $15/month if you included mobile (phone) streaming. I decided to try Google for the 30-day free trial and cancelled Rhapsody within a week. I was blown away by the Chrome app, the radio options (think Pandora), and the slick Android interface. You can also download your playlists to your phone for playing when you don't have a connection (or want to save data plan bandwidth). It's a great service, and I have yet to search for a song they don't have in their library.
Yes. It's called NOT STEALING.
That settles it. I'm trying Google.
I'm kind of a Google fanboy and I've never tried their music service. You just talked me into it
Actually, I think I did try it when it first came out and it had issues. I don't have the option of the 30-day trial any more and $9.99/mo is pretty spendy considering Pandora One is $36/yr. Maybe after my Pandora One runs out I'll give it another shot.
Sorry for the thread derail OP
I still use iTunes, never had any issues with it. I used Pandora (most overrated thing ever, barely a step above radio) for a few years but don't like the fluff it force feeds you while you are hoping to listen to songs you really like. honestly I haven't messed with many other streaming options but always felt like I couldn't really 100% customize what was played. What out there gives me complete control over what I hear?
I haven't tried Pandora's subscription service, so I can't really compare them. I used their free radio before I got google.
I'm surprised anyone bus mp3s of albums. It's 4x to 20x more expensive than buying CDs at a used record shop and taking 90 seconds to convert them. Maybe I'm spoiled living in a neighborhood with used CDs everywhere. You don't have to steal to have lots of mp3s for next to nothing and if you ever don't want them you can trade them instead of just deleting.
Haven't touched itunes for years. Spotify for life. I just ask for Spotify gift cards on birthdays/Xmas/whatever because I don't know what to ask for anymore.
Plus it gives me all the music I could ever ask for at the click of a button.

I'd go with Winamp. They have the best skins, if you're into individualization. Integrates with Napster really well too.
I listen to Pandora and Spotify but I also like to own the songs I like. With that said, I have an Ipod that I use for tailgating and a Nano for my car. Are there any alternatives to Itunes (Windows) that will allow me to manage these devices?
