media player of mine. iTunes is just for iPod/iPhone.

of Propriatory products and purchased tunes from iTunes store and thusly found
myself in iTune land. Actually, I agree 100% with gift9sipp - A fine Post spot

At first, I used Windows Media Player playing all music. But after my boyfriend got an iPod mini around 3 years ago, I started using iTunes. I didn't care or even concerned about the differences really. However, I did prefer iTunes because of its interface. Just so you know, iTunes has a nice, neat, and organized interface. Recently, I change back to Windows Media Player because it's faster. I've got to tell you that I'm still using iTunes for my iPod but if I would like to play songs from my computer, I prefer using Windows Media Player.

It's like Windows tries to make Windows Media Player look hi-tech by using visualization, but it really doesn't work for me. I feel like it does interrupt my feeling really, I'm not using it though. For its library, it's just too much to categorize every little things on this window. One more thing, if I were Windows, I would release something like podcast of iPod because there are a lot of people choose iPod because of this kind of service. Anyway, Windows Media Player is much faster than iTunes.

For iTunes, I'm just about to love its interface, but there are some problems have shown up. I used to open iTunes with iBook, and it worked very well. In contrast, when I opened it with PC, it was too slow and froze so often. This kinds of problems annoyed me a lot. I don't understand how come Apple lets them happen. I'm not quite sure if it's because of different OS. If not, why the results are so different. Basically, many people using iPod and PC should get the same priority as people who use all Apple products.
All in all, iPod needs to use with iTunes and I have an iPod, so I have no way to leave iTunes behind. Such a great marketing plan, isn't it? Even though I love iTunes interface crazily, I use Windows Media Player more frequently because of its comfort.
