The only reason why I like iTunes over Windows Media, Real, MusicMatch and other programs is that IMHO iTunes is the easiest one to use - I am a geek and I love gadgets, but I don't feel like sitting in front of the computer for four hours setting the other programs up and hoping they work. iTunes+iPod is easy, I buy or rip my music, create a playlist, burn or send to iPod, that's it - The hype factor doesn't really matter to me as my 4G 20G has enough storage for all the songs I could use for a lifetime. Real and MusicMatch kill you to death with system resources/ads and other general B/S. I just want a program that is easy to use and that I don't need to spend a lot of time setting up. Ease of use, there is why Apple has most of the marketshare.
