I'm using iTunes on a Mac and it's pretty much the only capable player I
could find for this platform. I'm happy with the interface, which is responsive
and convenient, although the Cover Flow view gets slow when I have a lot of
cover art. I'm not using most of the features it offers but I miss some from
other audio players (like Amarok and Winamp that I had been using previously)
like Enqueue and automatic adding of new tracks in my music folder to the Music
Library. Sadly, iTunes only integrates with the iPod and iPhone, which I don't
(and don't want to) have and it's useless for my Sony Ericsson Walkman phone.
I can say iTunes is a good alternative, but it can be further improved if
Apple wishes to do so.
