1026 down...

 Decided to get rid of iTunes in favour of a music player that isn't huge, bloated, slow and ugly. Finally settled on the Zune software (seriously, when did Microsoft start making nice software? First Windows 7, then IE9 which I would consider using if it had extensions, now this... I'm shocked) as it's both snappy and OMG pretty (see?). HOWEVER, when I moved my music out of the nest of iTunes folders all hell broke loose... half my tags seemed to vanish into the ether, along with a tonne of album art (I thought iTunes embedded that in the file?) and now my music collection is, to put it lightly, a great big fucking mess. So I'm taking this opportunity to clear out some of the stuff I never listen to and tag the stuff I actually do properly (yes, even genres).

...this is going to take a while.

Oh wow, that is pretty! I might have to look into that... I still use the iTunes store though, just because of how convenient it is to be able to access all the music I wanna be able to buy (and to be able to put money on without using a credit card of my own, though I guess I am 18 now.)

Do you think I'd be able to just use the iTunes web interface or something?

I don't think you an use iTMS though a regular web browser sadly (I seem to remember a PyGTK-based iTMS ient existing, but no idea if it's still being developed). Seeing as Apple have switched over to MP3 instead of protected AAC these days I suppose you could keep iTunes around to buy stuff and use Zune for the playing though?
