iTunes is free software

Windows users, listen up:

iTunes for Windows is free. It doesn’t cost anything. It will play your existing MP3 files just fine. It will rip your CDs just fine, and you still don’t have to pay a dime to Apple. It’ll keep your MP3s organized, and you still don’t have to pay any money to anyone.

It can also show trippy visual effects when you play your MP3s, and yeah, those effects are free, too.

In fact, the only time you’ll have to pay for anything related to iTunes is if you want to spend $0.99 on a song that you can purchase from the iTunes music store. (That song, incidentally, isn’t an MP3. It’s encoded in a different format –AAC).

Free software, folks.

So what are you waiting for? Go try it. It’s worlds beyond Winamp or Windows Media Player. You’ll be pleasantly suprised.
