In defense of 4.0 (lol wat), I don't think they "stole" it since it's been less than a week and I don't think they could get that working a week after apple launched the feature.



also lol windows only software baddood;

I haven't tried it...but if the album art getting feature and the syncing with filesystem problems aren't fix, it's worth jackshit. badass;

No.  doodthing;

Anything based on windows media player is doomed to suck. Even iTunes does a much better job, and I'd imagine songbird would, if it worked.  Amarok and Rhythmbox work perfectly, a lot more than perfectly.

I've used wmp, zune, and songbird the most, and they all have that problem
i've used itunes a little bit and it seems to have the same issue albeit not as much as wmp

I guess songbird still sucks then. Which is good, since it's crashed both times I've tried to install it on two different platforms.

Still, iTunes and almost all good linux players outstrip the zune / wmp stuff by lightyears.  happydood;

I think the Zune thing is nice, and 4.0 is really awesome.

It is nice! It just has certain problems that really turn me off. But it's a nice integrated interface, and I bet that 4.0 is all kinds of godly. It certainly sounds it.

Uh no.

Genius playlists are about a year old, but Genius mixes are a new feature of iTunes 9.

oh akudood;

This just has "Smart DJ" endless mix thing, with the option to save it as a playlist if you really like it. Also, you can toggle the ability to incorporate Zune Marketplace music into it. thumbup;

There's a dust leak in one of the corners of my zune screen so I'm sending it in and getting a free new one :|

I've only looked at it a bit since I reinstalled it on 7. The main difference is that screen as far as I know, and I don't plan on using it much.

I fail to see how this would be a problem. Most people use Windows anyways. Only reason there is iTunes for something other than Windows is because Apple has their own OS. It makes sense for most programs to only be written for Windows. And I'm beginning to rant, so I'm just going to stop myself.

+1 for self control

Except for the fact that even Microsoft has a Mac development team (MS Office, for one)
