Support for Winamp and iTunes

Post by musoware »

I'm thinking of dropping support for iTunes and Winamp as players from Muso - would anyone care?

Winamp as a player is no longer available (since 2013), so I don't think anyone would miss support for it, but would anyone have any serious objections about loss of iTunes player support?. iTunes is not particularly strong as a player, though even if I did drop it I may keep support for importing media from an iTunes library.

The vast majority of the user base is now using Muso for Squeezebox player support (which are also no longer available, but the user community is still thriving), and more recently a small number of HQPlayer users.

Agree re Winamp. I have used iTunes occasionally as a player, but it is a bit clunky. I guess you need a simple PC-only player, in which case foobar would be better. Ideally I would think you need one that plays in the upnp world.
Fwiw my current setup is LMS7.9 on a raspberry pi with sb touches and ipeng - all works very well together and with Muso.

I never liked iTunes. As far as I am concerned please go ahead.
