Windows Media Player 11 vs Apple iTunes 6

In all honesty, I haven’t used WMP11, sorry. BUT. Let’s face it: they stole the interface and everything else from Apple. AND it’s only in beta.

Mike chooses WMP11:

·  Transfer MP3 from PC to media player AND from media player to PC.

·  Full media intergration (music, videos, burning) in one player, and all functioning from one menu/nav/control ( I believe you need to jump from iTunes into Quicktime to play videos).

·  Customizable and easy to use interface, with auto CD cover discover and display

·  Option to automatically fill up an external device to the max with the music of your choosing

There are many more, but you only have a minute

Bad:

·  It’s not iTunes, so although it links happily will many mp3 players, there is currently no iPod integration… yet

Again there are more, but for a windows junkie like me, I don’t really care…

Tom chooses iTunes:

·        Podcasts

·        Simple, easy to use that’s so “Apple”

·        Smart playlists

·        iPod support

·        Autofill

Bad:

·        Can’t copy from iPod (but check out Ephpod)
