TUNEI
Remember when Microsoft was the bad guy and Apple was the underdog? Funny how a brilliant idea can change everything. With the 
raging success of the iPod and its powerhouse sidekick, iTunes (or is it the other way around?), you'll now find almost as many people ranting about Steve Jobs as about Bill Gates. Where one person sees the coolest duo to hit electronics since TiVo met the TV, another sees plans for world domination. And it's all about one word: proprietary.
iTunes is a piece of software that lets you add to, organize and play your digital media collection on your computer, as well as sync it to a portable device. It's a jukebox player along the lines of MusicMatch and Windows Media Player, and you can use it on a Mac or Windows machine. The most significant difference between iTunes and some other media players is the built-in iTunes Music Store (where you can get podcasts, music videos, movies, audiobooks and TV shows, too) and its multi-level integration with Apple's iPod portable media player.
