Every time I open an Adobe product, it seems to take several minutes.  I usually walk away in frustration and get lost in conversation with an office mate because I’m impatient and hate waiting.  Software should open and close and do its job.  Same with iTunes.  It takes forever to open.  So did MusicMatch when I used to use it for my iPod.  But MusicMatch was more intuitive than iTunes and nicer to use.  But the newest version of iTunes won’t let me use MusicMatch, so I’m stuck. 

Now Adobe wants to make a new bloatware, oops, media software, for the computer.  Ok, all this reminds me of a quick story.  My father-in-law is a fancy guy, and he calls the family room his "media room."  Well la di frickin’ da!  It serves the same purpose as mine.  The point is, whatever you call it, make it work, and make it run fast.  And please, give it support for the iPod so I can use an alternative. 

Back to Adobe…The player, dubbed Adobe Media Player (why not Adobe Family Room?) will provide support for a multitude of formats.  They might even open the door for the Adobe Download Music and Video Store.  Perhaps they can call it the Adobe Media Store!  No word on a release date.  I’m crossing my fingers in anticipation.

Let’s hear your comments about "Media Software."  Do you like it?  Hate it?
