CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Although iTunes has always been one of the best pieces of jukebox software available, the company improved upon a great thing with version 7, which added enhanced video capabilities and new ways to view your music library. A cleaned-up left sidebar makes finding your music and videos a snap and the new Album and Cover-Flow view options let you flip through CDs in style. The built-in video player accomodates both your own files and ones you buy at the iTunes Store; right-clicking a clip lets you render it iPod-compatible. With the addition of full-length movies at the iTunes Store (Music is no longer part of the name), you can now view near-DVD quality movies at a resolution of 640x480. The experience of both purchasing and playing movies and videos is almost identical to perfoming the same actions with music, so seasoned users will have no trouble (with fast broadband, movies download in about a half hour).
All the features we love from past versions are still intact, including seamless iPod integration, smart playlists, CD burning, label printing, the ability to rip files in multiple formats (except WMA), network sharing, and, of course, the enormously successful iTunes Store. Rounding out the feature set are parental controls, integrated podcasts, and a smart-shuffle option. Whether you're already among the converted or have yet to try this top-notch player, iTunes 7 should find a home on any media junkie's computer.

Version: iTunes for Windows 7.0.2
Pros: It plays my music and the sound is fair also like how you can make smart playlists.
Cons: Not customizable, too white and bright, only works with Quicktime, also takes up a lot of memory. Also does not really do ID tag editing, and does not support ogg or flacc. The mini player is horrible. Not enough options or prefreancse. Do not like the fact it like pushes you to buy stuff. You cannot import the playlist in .m3u's, but you can use iTunes export UI. Has a very basic search. Also do not like the fact that it does not watch folders. Also does not have good enough support. Do not like how if the player is done you cannot see the song in the taskbar like some other players do as well as you cannot control with your computer if it comes with a control.
In case of the iPod it synchronizes with it so if the song is not on your computer anymore it gets deleted from your iPod as well.

Version: iTunes for Windows 7.0.2
"No MP3 or other conversion in my free version"
Pros: I love the visualiser! I use all kinds of media players, this and VLC's "goom" setting beat 'em all.

Version: iTunes for Windows 7.0.2
"Great for pretty much everything."
Pros: Simply the best program for organizing and ripping music. Music store is unmatched. Let's you watch full-screen Quicktime files without having to pay for the full version of QT. Clean interface, easy to use playlist creation.

Version: iTunes for Windows 7.0.2
"Crappy - slow and unresponsive but still works"
Pros: Still useful even though it's aggravating to use.
Cons: Slow and unresponsive even on a Core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM. Makes it very frustrating and aggravating to use. I thought Apple was suppose to be better. Does things it wants to do even when you don't want it to.

Version: iTunes for Windows 7.0.2
Pros: This is the best music management program ever made. It will convert any type of audio file into AAC (if not protected). You can add all of your music with one click. You can customize how the iTunes interface is set up, you can add and remove information you want displayed. You can make different playlists with different types of music, or different people's music if you have more than 1 person on a computer. It can even get songs straight from a CD and burn, play, or save to your harddrive.
