Well, I don't remember the last time I used media player for music, I
remember buying 10 songs from Napster as a trial when they went legal, then
had trouble playing them on media player when I uninstalled my napster
software, imagine, songs i bought and paid for would no longer play cause in
media player cause napster was gone? That's crap...too much encrypting, I
was on hold with tech support for 30 minutes when i called it a loss,
deleted the ten paid for songs (in wma encoded format) and never tried
again.
Never had such problems with iTunes and never looked back.
