Apple iTunes Review Summary
Apples’ iPod has become the standard in portal music and iTunes is the software program used to download music into it and or organize it. The community has nothing but (mostly) admiration for Apple’s music management program, saying that “Apple’s iTunes is by far one of the best music players and music stores for the computer today,” among other glowing accolades. With iTunes (now on version 7.6) users can not only organize their music, but also download new music from Apple’s iTunes Store at a cost of $.99 a track. The great feature of ITunes is its ability to synchronize with just about any MP3 player; this is an ability our community of reviewers appreciated; one stated that “All of the music can be played through the player, burned to a CD, or played on an iPod or mP3 player.” Read what our reviewers have to say about Apple iTunes.

It took me one hour of playing around in the iTunes stores to get completely hooked. I didn't even own an iPod, but my notebook had plenty of room to store all the songs I was suddenly finding: hits from my high school years, as well as things I never knew existed. — With its excellent search features, this user-friendly site brings the entire world to you via its music. You'll easily find today's hits, and the site's biggest-selling songs. Search by genre to locate Broadway soundtracks, jazz standards (several versions in many cases), gangsta rap, electronica, country, or…

Budget-Conscious, Internet User, Entertainment Writer, in a 3 iPod family
Intro — I've been using iTunes since Apple first developed it, when it was still just a music player, and didn't have a store built into it. Being it's an Apple product, though, they make improvements to it fairly often, with each one making it all that much better. By the time the Store function was added on, for me there was no going back. — — Organization — The original attraction with iTunes was the organization of the individual music files, so that you could organize them by artist, album, etc. Just a few years later, and they now have a store to download…

Apple's iTunes is by far one of the best music players and music stores for the computer today. The music player side is very easy to use and it's easy to import songs from files on the computer or from CDs, and it's easy to burn music onto CDs. — — The music store side is great too. It has a huge inventory of songs and albums from many artists and bands, and it's usually cheaper than buying the CD. One of the best things about the store is that you can purchase songs individually. I especially like this because there are certain artists who have only one or two songs that I…

While I thought the iPod was a passing fad, I thought also the same of iTunes. I learned, however that I was wrong and that iTunes has staying power and the power to revolutionize the music industry. The inventory continues to grow and you can purchase songs from many generations, genres and countries. I am impressed at the growing number of classical selections and the number of selections released by artists only for iTunes. —…

I love using iTunes! It's so easy to download songs and get started. I like the fact that I can upload songs off cds I already have without any problems. I would like to see the prices of each song go down a little, because sometimes I find myself having downloaded more songs than I thought/expected. The funtions are incredibly easy to use, like creating playlists, burning cds, and loading music onto my ipod. It's also nice knowing that I don't have a chance of getting arrested or something because I'm downloading music illegally!!…

Disclaimer: This review was based off version 7.6.2.9. Later versions of iTunes may pender some of this review inaccurate. — iTunes is a music program that has been around since the release of the first iPod generation in 2001. However, it wasn't until version 4.1 where Windows became a supported operating system, allowing Windows users to also own iPods. — While iTunes was mostly aimed towards syncing music, videos, and games to your iPod, it can also be used as a media jukebox for your computer. iTunes scrobbles your computer for audio files, videos, and songs that you can…

a PC User, Every day computer user, always online
I have been using iTunes for several years now and absolutely enjoy it. Although I am an iPod owner, I started using the service before I actually owned an iPod. It revolutionized the music listeners ability to buy the songs they want instead of buying a whole CD and only listening to a couple of the songs on it. iTunes also allows users to import their own music, organize playlists, edit tracks (if a song is too long or you want to cut out the long intro or the hidden track tacked on at the end of your song then you can do so by changing the start and end times to meet your preference).…

My daughter called on Christmas day since she and her nephews that she nannies had received MP3 players for Christmas. They had also received iTunes Gift cards which is nice to have to download songs they like. — — The problem my daughter was experiencing was in order to use the gift card they had to install iTunes. — — iTunes is produced by Apple and like Microsoft seems to belive they are the only format on th planet. — — The default format that the songs wants to download into is M4P a proprietary format that only works in iTunes or on an iPod.…

iTunes is like an internet Jukebox. You can play music, videos or podcasts. You can buy a movie, a song or an entire album. It has hundreds of streaming 'radio' stations in dozens of different genres. You can burn cd's or MP3 discs as well as DVD's with thousands of songs on it that you can use in your DVD player or even some car stereos —
— — You can categorize you music into genre's, artists, albums or any combination. You can put most videos off of the internet into iTunes and they will be available for playing or loading onto your iPod. There are thousands of podcasts…

"Okay guys, what can you think of to make the worst program ever?" said Steve Jobs to his staff at Apple Headquarters. — — "Well, we could make a music program of some sort that probably hogs a lot of system memory!" scoffed one programmer. — — "And while we're at it," added another, "why not encode purchased music so it's unusable outside of the program? We could also make an exceedingly popular music device to go along with it that can only use this program." — — "I love it! But what do we call it?" said Steve. — — "iTunes," said the…

a Mac addict
iTunes: This is a music service that has helped change the way things are done. Soon ( with-in 5-10 years) there will be no more going to the store to buy cd's or dvd's. Why would you do that when you can down load them, and them stream them to your tv or stero with things like Apple TV and Airport. My main problem with iTunes is tey do not always have the music that I am looking for. Like try to find AC/DC. Nope not there. I know there are legal issues and such, but it is still a pain in the butt. I am also not a fan of the "You can't get certain songs unless you buy the whole…

I-Tunes is the best source for all your favorite music. The software is very easy to use and is always updating to make it even better. You not only have your favorite music right on your desktop; you have the option of burning your favorite songs onto cd and taking them wherever you want to go. — Another great option, for those who don't have the space for all those cd's, is the fact you can upload all your favorite songs to the Apple i-Pod. Which is small enough to fit in your pocket but holds an enormous amount of music and pictures. — I-tunes even has space to hold not only…

Itunes is a great place to find music. These days there are not many creative artists, especially in the Hip Hop, Pop Culture area of music. These artists can only produce one song at a time that is even worth listening to, so Itunes makes it easy for those who want to, listen to and buy only that semi popular song. Itunes also brings back the classics in better than record or CD sound. The only problem with Itunes is if your computer crashes, you lose all of your music and money... Itunes does not allow you to re download your previous purchases... my advice is to create CDs of all the songs…
