The only serious counterpart iTunes is actually Windows Media Player 11 Does not mean it's not exciting battle.; These two players are seriously matched. Like iTunes emphasis in Windows Media Player (WMP) for the management of large media collections.
The main difference in control minion is in the way in which the covers of CDs are implemented in the two applications. minion WMP let the idea of iTunes CoverFlow-behind and go for a strictly digital uses applied approach. We see the CD covers brotherly next to each other as we go through the collection of standard, or lying on a heap when we browse by artist or genre. Although Cover Flow scores because it looks very spectacular, WMP will win the game by much more smoothly and work. Clearly
A second victory scored by WMP also provide pictures, support something which Apple is undoubtedly completely unnecessary until the day it as 'brilliant innovation' is added to iTunes. Although the idea is good, this part of WMP can still use a substantial renovation. Because we can not simultaneously play music through the management of WMP and view photos minion in a slide show. Also, there is no simple minion support for tags on photos. For music tagging or well implemented. Although Microsoft's approach subtly different from Apple - we have in the case of WMP something more with 'piles minion Files' work - to mention two practical systems.
Automatic File Where iTunes minion thick beats WMP is the file automatically. Since the introduction of Search in Vista, Microsoft seems to be essentially what files on the disc fully sausage; there is therefore no way of automatically implemented file. A second minion point that WMP remains is to playlists. After some searching, we discover that we automatically create playlists compilations to taste to make here too. It is search, minion however, so we must say that the options are tucked away in the interface to make it workable. Too far WMP still has an ace up its sleeve. This is the only management module that integrates seamlessly with the Media Center of Vista and XP. Apple's iPod is in fact not synchronizing with Windows Media Player by default - not exactly practical for those who have one of the best selling mp3 players in their hands. Libraries share over the network, with both players as well; both with iTunes and Windows Media Player that works well, and the same goes for the support of the library formats in hardware solutions to play music - which is about fifty-fifty split.
The advantage that Windows Media Player could have on iTunes is that Apple with the application minion a collection of unnecessary applications tit tart. This is unfortunately gone through a bug that haunted WMP for years. The application has a tendency to occasionally not turn when the window is closed by itself. We have to stop running in Task Manager the wmplayer.exe process to get off. Music Since this bug since at least version minion 9 is already in WMP, we had - to put it mildly - slowly hoped that Microsoft would have removed the bug. Windows Media Player 11 Price: Free (November 2007)
