iTunes lets you create your own personal digital music library, allowing you to manage and play your music collection with drag-and-drop simplicity. iTunes, the software part of the equation that lets you pack 7,500 songs in your pocket, automatically synchronizes with the sensational new iPod at high speeds over FireWire. iTunes gives you the ability to generate dynamic Smart Playlists that reflect your preferences and listening habits. With iTunes it's easy to create CDs that play back on in your car, your home stereo, Macs and on Windows-based PCs. iTunes 4 adds the ability to share music among your Macs, play and encode AAC files, and view album art.

I would love to use this for my apple Ipod, but all the cruft that comes with an install of this product that is not even necessary for the product to function is too much to bear. And, let's not even talk about if you want to uninstall this program (cleanly)! What a bloody nightmare! Have had to do several OS reinstalls when this thing would not uninstall fully! No, no no no no no no! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I don't know how well iTunes works on a Mac but the Windows version is one of the worst applications ever seen. Bloated, slow and buggy as hell.
Actually the only reason I'm installing it is because of my iPhone.

I really, really hate iTunes - More than any other PC program, there is no replacement program though if you use later versions of iPods for instance, that is the reason I do not buy them.

If one lemming jumps off the cliff, all the others will follow. It's a good thing the smart ones aren't lemmings.
Getting rid of this and quicktime was one of the best days my computer ever had. bye bye Apple
Winamp has become a little more bloated and buggy over the years but its still superior to iTunes in pretty much every respect. Unless you actually own Apple hardware you have no use for this program, at all. Correction: unless you just want it for the iTunes Store, you really have NO need for iTunes. Winamp will fully support your iPod and it has plugins, skins and many other ways to customize the experience and will link directly to a number of music stores.
For those of you complaining of the bloat of Itunes and slow startup you obviously have never experienced Zune 3.0. Itunes runs like a speedy DOS app compared to that Monster!!!! I have a friend that has a Zune and the device itself is nice the software is garbage and sadly there are no 3rd party apps like sharepod that can be used with it. I personally won't buy any media player that requires an app to transfer media to it. I have 2 that you merely plug in and use explorer or whatever file manager you choose to transfer media to/from it.
