I hope they don't get rid of the player. That desktop player is by far the best one I have ever used except for maybe Winamp before AOL. Its too feature rich to get rid of. Yes, even better than iTunes.

Beating iTunes is not exactly hard.

I can't stand iTunes as a media player. I'm still using an old version of Winamp.

Try Foobar2000! It is open-source, actively developed, has tons of features and plugins but still lightweight, plays numerous formats and the best, works out-of-the box.

I also changed from Winamp, when it became adware.

It's freeware, but not open-source.

Thanks for the heads-up. It looks promising.
