iTunes for Windows!

In case you haven't heard iTunes for the PC is now
available iTunes Download. Now, thanks to Apple you can organize your music to the point of anal retentive precision with artwork and smart playlists. This is the best music program I have ever used. It's better than musicmatch, WiMP, or WinAmp. iTunes also includes a free built in encoder for AAC (MPEG-4), AIFF, MP3, and WAV not to mention the iTunes music store (U.S.) with close to half a million tracks at the flat rate of 0.99 cents.

Other features:
Easy ID3 Tag Editing (for music)
Visualization (sound scope type thing)
Built in DVD archiving of music library
Easily set gap between tracks when burning to cd
Built in adjustable equalizer (for optimal listening)
Sound check (adjust all mp3's to same volume despite bit rate)
VBR & CBR encoding
and it's a great Jukebox!

Dang, beat me to it!

I've been playing with iTunes all day.  Best media player I ever used.  And the selection of tracks available to buy is pretty good as well.  Apple has a winner.  Now to buy an iPod.

Since it's not clear to me by looking over the site.

Can I purchase and download MP3s, and play them on a player other than the itunes app?  I assume I have to use  their app to shop and download?

X-0:
As a media player:  not bad.  not necessary for me, but maybe after playing with it some more I may use it as the default player/organizer.  I'll have to see how it reacts to having the files worked on by other programs....library-type databases in other programs (as if Rioport didn't suck enough, this is what killed it for me) would get royally screwed by using external editors (like Tag&Rename).

As a download service...a step in the right direction, but I have not seen clear answers on DRM issues, and I still have issues with the price.  Several albums I looked for were not available at an album price, you had to buy each song individually...adding up to more than the CD would cost.  Second, even at the $10 point it's too much.  This is not CD quality music, so it should not cost what I can find the CD for.  Period.  I don't mind buying less-than-CD-quality music, but I want less-than-CD-prices for it.  If it adds a DRM hassle on top of that, I won't be spending money on it.
