WMP 11 or iTunes?

Question

Which is a better music managing program?

I use Windows Vista (which I love!). I don't have any specific needs.

Which one is better overall?

Answer 1

WMP 11 is the best.



1. Tons of add-ons ( http://wmplugins.com/ )

2. Works with many players, and online stores - power of PlayForSure

3. Beautiful graphical UI

4. Less bloat than iTunes

5. More speedier and less buggy

6. Taskbar mode is awesome - the whole play works in a very mini-mode

7. Very simple to make playlist and smart playlists

8. Has visualizations/bar stacks

9. Media enhancement tools

10. Dynamic Search

11. Compact mode is nifty

12. Pane menus

13. Plays DVD's!



So WMP 11 is definitely better than the iTunes software. The only thing good about iTunes, maybe is the iTunes store, and CoverFlow, but that's about it. Overall, WMP 11 is better.

Answer 2

I have Windows Vista Home Basic and 2x i tried to use iTunes and had to uninstall it both times. it offers live radio.

When it was installed even if i was not using it, parts of the screen would go black, i would loose all icons and task bar.

try it if you like and you can always uninstal it if you have problems. Microsoft may have gotten the bugs out it has been a month.

Answer 3

Answer 4

ITUNES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
