I do not know why some users swear on iTunes and prefer to use it as their main software for their music collection. The biggest drawback in my opinion is that iTunes was designed to only work with iPods and not other mp3 players from different manufacturers. I personally think that it is a bit way of to install iTunes if you do not own an iPod but apparently some users are doing it.

And one of them decided to write a program called iTunes Sync that would sync the playlists in iTunes with a lot of mp3 players from different manufacturers such as Creative Labs, iRiver and Sandisk. Not all players are working yet but the author is trying hard to implement support for them in future versions.

The software requires only three steps to sync your mp3 player with iTunes. They are:

      Setup a playlist in iTunes that you want to sync to your MP3 player
      Configure your MP3 player in iTunes Sync by giving it a name, selecting an “identification file or folder� and selecting a playlist from iTunes
      Now just click Synchronize and watch the magic happen!

I am just curious. We have MAC people that windows bash and Windows people that MAC bash. Now we have people that are upset that ITunes will not sync with anything other than an IPod and predominantly these will be the MAC bashers. Now Microsoft comes out with their own Music player and Oh look at that, it won’t sync with anything other than ZUNE player. Where are the MAC bashers now that Microsoft has done the same thing At least MAC had the insight to at least make the software run on a PC too but Microsoft has not done the reciprocol. So if you are going to Bash one product or the next make sure you look in your own backyard before doing so. I am a converted MAC user and I really enjoy not getting security updates every hour and actually having software and hardware that works. Just my 2 cents.

Steve you should not confuse one with the other. Someone saying iTunes should be compatible to other players does not necessarily care about the Zune and its compatibilities. If you look at the Zune userbase and compare it to iPod you probably understand this. It’s just not big enough to be important.

Which leads to your next assumption. Some say that the MAC, or more precise the MAC user base, is not big enough to attract hackers and virus writers.

That does not mean that the MAC is more secure than Windows. Take a look at Firefox for instance. It is getting market share over the years and this in turn makes it a valuable target for criminals.

i feel that itunes should be able to work with more than just iPods. I have found that itunes is a more organized way to keep all my music, and i always make my itunes perfect with sonf titles and artist plus the ablum cover. so i think that after doing all that work i should just be able to sync the song from itunes to my mp3 player which is not apple.
