Apple managed to revolutionize the multimedia world by releasing iTunes, a whole new multimedia concept for iPods that combines audio and video playback as well as Radio, TV and podcast broadcasting while purchasing music online. In this report, we’ll analyze this popular player’s potentials.

iTunes

The revolution we are talking about is not unconnected to iPod’s appearance in the market. This Apple mobile device massiveness ended up in the positioning of iTunes as its ideal and essential complement. Nowadays, most iPod users organize their music with iTunes.

The program´s interface differs from other players since it was made for using the iTunes Store, the online shop for purchasing applications, music and videos.

This is –among others- the reason why iTunes is a program that doesn´t require a great deal of computing knowledge, since most of its features are introduced by using a Wizard.

Moreover, files managed by iTunes are automatically sorted in playlists and libraries (depending on file types), inside which the user can easily add, sort and eliminate multimedia files. One thing to bear in mind though, is that iTunes may duplicate files, therefore we have to pay attention to the indications shown during this process.

As previously mentioned, iTunes features a complete audio, video, radio, TV and podcast player, as well as compatibility with most popular formats such as .mov, .avi, .swf, .mp3, .aac, .wma, and more.

Also, it has an equalizer with a wide range of music presets and 10 audio channels to configure manually. Moreover, it includes a large amount of radio and podcast signals for you to listen to radio online, and the possibility of adding streaming TV channels.

iTunes Store has a tab of its own where users can create an account so they can immediately start purchasing and downloading applications, programs and videos from its varied and colorful catalog.

Without any doubt, the greatest issue is the amount of system memory it consumes due to its visual complexity since it´s an interface developed for MacOSX and adapted to Microsoft Windows. We can notice this when launching the program, performing a search or even while playing files.

To sum up, iTunes is a player that emphasizes its original way to manage multimedia files, as well as purchasing online while playing videos or music, listening to radio stations or synchronizing your iPod.
