iTunes (on Windows)

-slow (other than playing content everything is just so slow)

-the GUI (inner window) just disappears if I maximize the application (or go over a specific height/width)

-terrible for searching/exploring [0]

[0] I generally search for a specific song then browse the artist's other songs but I would really like to also browse for covers or related content in a way that didn't lose track of the original search/artist.

Example: I search for a Korn song, then I view all Korn songs then I see that other people like System of a Down but I haven't finished viewing all the Korn catalog and if I go to S.O.A.D then I lose track of the Korn. Having a huge delay (compared to other computer functionality) between screens doesn't help either. Then I remember I wanted a cover of the Korn song but I had searched for Korn to compare with the original.

Honestly most of the time I feel like I am misusing it when it is such a chore to find more music. If there is a web interface I will gladly switch.
