iTunes for Windows

itunes screenI think this is notable: Apple has now made iTunes — its acclaimed music ripping/burning application — available for the Windows platform.

So what’s the big deal? Well, other than the ability to easily buy songs from the iTunes Music Store (which is integrated into the app) you can now take music from your existing CDs and put them on your computer. Then arrange them as you wish. Then burn them to custom CDs. And share them amongst your computers. And take them with you on your iPod. For free.

As I write this, I am in the — ahem… — lavatory listening to Pink Floyd being streamed wirelessly from the iMac in the closet upstairs. If Jill were upstairs and wanted to listen to some Christmas music from the same collection of songs, she could. At the same time. And, more to the point of the article, if Joe was here and wanted to listen to some light Jazz from his Windows laptop, now he can. At the same time. All this, for free.

This is technology I can embrace.
