Itunes For Pc

I don't know if this has already been said, so if it has, sorry, but this is really cool!

From a Fortune Magazine article:

"Jobs, however, isn't targeting just Mac users. He plans to roll out a Windows version of iTunes by the end of the year. (Apple already sells a Windows-compatible version of the iPod, which accounts for about half of all units sold.) It is a dramatic departure for Steve, who has deliberately kept the Mac's best features off the screens of the much larger Microsoft-dominated world."

Real iTunes for Windows! Score!

yeah.. its due by the time panther comes out..

but I think it will be crappy like QT on pcs..

#23546

I think they will not make it exactly the same just as they did with Windows QT vs Mac QT and it will not be skinnable either. Just my thoughts. It will be window dressing to sell more iPods to the Wintel PCs .

#23548

iTunes for Windows, what'll be next Panther or Tiger for Windows???

#23551

it'll probably be something more along the lines of pussy cat

#23555

Knowing them they'd probably make it look like quicktime on the PC. I also would not be suprised if it was not skinnable. Neither is itunes on he mac per say but some people have reshacked it. There are certain things you can't change about it like the overlayed pattern in the background or the shape of the window (it's always has rounded edges).

Still it's worth seeing what they do with this. It might actuallly turn out pretty good.

Looking for a job with apple moby?

I'd take the job, but:

I'm not a good programmer

10 Years ago, i was 4 (10 years experience required)

I have to go to school (Some kind of national law)

and

It would probably look like $hlt!

Oh well, maybe in 20 years...

Ya, lets hope its not sh##ty like they made QuickTime for windows. If it is there's no cheering about it. Its just gonna suck. Well, it might not suck that much. I mean, at least it will be fully compatible with the iPod. It might not be as nice and pretty and intuitive as the iTunes for os x is, but it will probably be a hell of a lot better than MusicMatch Jukebox sh## or any of that crap.

#23601

well, I think this is different from the QuickTime case. iTunes for Windows will be the software that manage the iPod (one of apple's star products), so they won't come out with a poor software who can risk (is this correct in english??) the iPod sales for Windows users.

I expect an excellent version of iTunes.

see ya

#23608

hey, at least if it does suck, we've always got iPlay

Hmmm, Apple uses cat names for OSX...if they ever developed an OS for PC's it would probably be canine names...
