Thank God there are alternative choices to play audio files like winamp or foobar 2000 but for the apple and well, windows too for that matter, Itunes is the only software you can use to support all features of an Ipod. So if one has an Ipod, he/she *MUST* have access to Itunes to use it fully. Also, the itunes music store cannot be accessed with any other players either and it so happens that the music store is about the least accessible part of Itunes under windows. If itunes never gets rewritten in Coco and as long as the windows version is like it is pressently, I will never again buy music from Apple's store, nor will ever buy an Ipod. The inaccessibility makes it worthless to me.
