iTunes for Windows

Just some random thoughts on iTunes for Windows:

  1. Why does everyone think that just because there are already some legitimate music services for Windows, iTunes is too late to suceed? Sure, there's buymusic.com and the MusicMatch music store, but those services have yet to develop a following at all. The iTunes store has been selling 600,000 songs/week up to this point (10 million songs since late April), which is a number none of the current Windows services have been able to touch. Too late? Bah, I say!
  2. Of all the complaints you could have about iTunes for Windows, an unintuitive user interface is not one of them. Maybe the redraw rate is sluggish, and it's too bad that the AAC format songs don't work with your Nomad, but if you can't figure out how to navigate the iTunes UI, then you've got much bigger problems. iTunes has to be the best app I've ever used in terms of having a UI that's solid and easy to understand.
