PC Users Rejoice! iTunes has arrived.
 

Well, now that I'm short of cash and have been forced to resort to using this beige box PC (that doesn't belong to me, I might add), I am happy to say that iTunes for Windows has been released. I haven't had the chance to try it yet, but if any of you are looking for a program to play and organize your digital music collection, iTunes is a great solution.

You can get it here: www.apple.com/itunes

-Edit-

Now that I've been using this for a bit, I'm really enjoying it. The sound, setup, and layout are really good and the visualizer is incredible (although lower resolution in full screen). All in all, I'm in love. But I'm a fanboy :D

Finally! I have only been waiting for over four months for this...

Hey, nice background. Where'd you get that?

And as if Apple wasn't good enough already, they also share their amazing products with the less fortunate. :)

BITCHEN!


Now if I only had that Ipod.....


Or working speakers for my computer.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the ipod version 2.1 update is out to go with the iTunes!!!

IT ADDS A NEW GAME!!! =D :D :D

and a freakin SWEET game at that. It tests how well you know your own music. More music you have, the better this game becomes.

IT plays a random song from your ipod. gives you like 5 choices, and a time limit. you pick the song its playing. as time goes by, it eliminates choices, and thereby getting less points.

man, i LOVE my ipod! :D

AM I going to have to appear cynical again and say that it's a complete hog? The things uses 20+ MB of RAM.

/me starts up XMMS and is pleased to see it take up 795K of memory

Re: Re: Re: Re: PC Users Rejoice! iTunes has arrived.
 

/me doesnt care about 20mb of ram anywho.

but this wouldnt be a program i use for casual playing anyway. i like one like winamp or xmms for that that i can minimaze into a very small bar in the corner of the screen.

this is more of a full sized program to use to sort music or put it on my ipod and things like that.

Re: sdtPikachu's cynicism
 

Yes... And it's quite... aesthetically pleasing... Idn't it... :retard:

Look, there are a lot of features that iTunes has that people are going to appreciate. Burning CD's (standard or MP3), iPod support, WAY better visualizations, an online music store, over 300 internet radio streams (add your own too), lots more...

XMMS also has features that iTunes doesn't have (I think :D). They are both targeting different markets. I'm part of the iTunes market.

Re: Re: sdtPikachu's cynicism
 

If I had an iPod, I would probably get this.

Re: Re: Re: sdtPikachu's cynicism
 

Why do you need an iPod? It's an MP3 player/organizer for your PC. You don't need an iPod to get it. Unless you just don't think the features are worth the d/l unless you own an iPod.

An iPod update too? :D

iTunes has been awesome so far for the PC. To hell with MusicMatch!

:devil:

Well, I downloaded, and I must say its pretty good...I do have a few complaints...it is kinda a RAM hog, and it runs a few garbage programs in the background that do absolutley nothing....but I like the visualizer...how do you switch your visilization? Because it seems to change every time I enter and exit the visualizer, and im sure there's a way to choose your visisiluation.

I can't download the program because I don't have Windows XP or 2000, so I have to base my opinion on Bond's screenshot:

First off... damn, that thing's massive! So inconvenient *shudders*. Only 24 songs and it takes up almost the whole screen giving useless information such as the genre, rating, and album. The thing itself looks pretty ugly too, in my opinion. Bland colors, ugly buttons, and a terribly basic yet massive time scroller.

The one good thing I see, however, is the radio (assuming I know what that means). If that radio function lets you listen to a whole bunch of online radio stations like Live365, then that's pretty cool. However, it'd be better if an option like that was added to the wonderfully compact and pleasing to the eye Winamp.

*shudders* Why is it so large?
