YouTube now defaults to HTML5 video

I use Clementine on Linux, and sometimes on my Mac.

It handles more formats than iTunes (FLAC and OGG, maybe others), and the interface is okay, but not as polished as iTunes.

I haven't used it to add or remove music from my iPhone on either platform, but the Linux version can play music from the phone, so maybe it works.

Is 'polished' some kind of euphemism in this context that I'm just missing? The last time I tried to simply copy an MP3 from my laptop to my wife's iPhone I wasted almost an hour wading through nonsense errors, online tutorials, and absurd UI before I decided it's actually impossible to copy/paste an MP3 through iTunes and downloaded a standalone free player so I could load the file to the phone through the browser.

I don't own a lot of music, I don't have a library of albums, just a folder of files I wanted to copy/paste.

I think you were doing something wrong, it is supposed to take less than a minute.
