Jukebox: iTunes vs. Media Player vs. WinAmp vs. ...

Hey guys, I'm back this early morning for yet another mind blowing blog about nothing. I just got the beta version of Windows Media Player 11 and it's actually pretty neat. I've used the beta Vista (which I don't suggest since half of the crap doesn't work right) and the new Media Player looks to be straight from that. But I'm not here to talk about cool looking jukeboxs for your hundreds or even thousands of stolen MP3 files. That's right. I said it. Stolen MP3 files. I'm here to talk about which jukebox for your stolen music is right for you.

·iTunes: My choice of jukebox is iTunes because it's got a really, really easy to use interface and everything is there. One click does everything. It's not super fancy but it does everything I want it to do. Besides convience, it also uses less memory than most MP3 players. Oh, oh. Also, if you like legal music, iTunes Music Store is also a click away.

·Media Player (11, not 10): The new version of Media Player is pretty pimp. It looks beautiful. It is completely different from 10. It even copied iTunes Music Store! That's Microsoft for ya. But, seriously, if you haven't seen it, look it up now. Only problem right now is it's running a little laggy with my now 18,000 songs.

·WinAmp: Well, I love WinAmp and I hate it. It's got the best skins ever and tons of them. Easy to use plug-ins. The biggest problem I have with WinAmp is the memory usage.
