Looks like you will be able to download free music via iTunes when you buy Pepsi.

That is pretty damned nice.

Winamp team is skipping 4 because they want to get far away from 3 because 3 really sucked.

that and winamp 2 + winamp 3 = winamp 5

it has the skinability of 3 with the simplness of 2.x

i dont understand why you are all so excited about this. what is the appeal of itunes? ndo you all want to pay to DL songs or something. it doesent do anything that other programs dont allready do.

and IMO the hole media library thing is stupid and it sucks. i organize my stuff in windows by folder and just make playlists

You know, everyone makes fun of Apple for their multi-colored computers... then they go and put skins on their program. I think I'll stick with 2.9... I've never used a skin on any program. Can't wait for iTunes though... so I can buy music at Apple's iTunes store. :)

I used to think the same thing. I tried a couple of media library options on the PC (MM, WMP, etc) and they sucked.

Try iTunes out if you get a chance. It is MUCH better (assuming it is similar to the Mac version).

Keep wasting your time doing that while I have everything nice and organized automatically by WMP9 whenever I rip a CD. I *may* switch over to iTunes when it comes out as I really like it for Mac, but all my music is now WMA lossless and I don't feel like converting.
