Why didn’t the Chinese just rip it off like they usually do?

I agree that iTunes may have some interface problems, such as the inability to have other skins besides the default, an uncustomizable interface or visulizations, however, I really do like the sharing feature and the way it manages libraries.
I use Winamp over iTunes on my Windows box, but I find that I can live with just iTunes when using a Mac.

“iTunes may have some interface problems, such as the inability to have other skins besides the default”
It’s also slow as a dog, (memory) hungry like a wolf, and only manages audio files, and a limited range of audio file types at that!
Having said that, it does work transparently with the Archos so all is not lost!

Skins in iTunes? I don’t care how iTunes looks, just as long as it works. I’m not in it enough to care. Of course I don’t go in for funky desktop patterns either.
As far as the 128kbps AAC, it is good enough. I was a Radio-Television major and had to listen to symphonies and pick out specific instruments and where in the stereo field they were coming from. I therefore have to turn off my critical ear and just enjoy the music.
I do wonder and hope that Apple/RIAA allows us to redownload our purchased music when they do go to 256kbps AAC or whatever. But, I’m a dreamer.
