Whats your media player?

I’m starting a reader survey on Media Players - as there are a few assumptions I wanted to prove or understand.

1. If you have an iPod, iPhone or iTouch you use iTunes

2. You use Winamp casue you don’t want to use iTunes or WMP

3. you use windows media player as its the only thing you know or its the only one on your PC / Laptop

4. You use one of the new cross platform media centres or media servers as you’ve got a collection of music

5. You use linux and also stuck for choice so its Amarokfor you

Just add a comment to VOTE

I think there are many new media players out there that people haven’t heard of but would make a switch if they knew it was easy, had a better set of features or was marketed to them with some relevant feature.

For reference, I use Winamp and almost always have done so as I consider iTunes and WMP both to be ‘mainstream’. I use lots of different media players and am now looking at home media servers.

Apple to standardise iTunes prices in Europe

comment: The reason that Apple charges different retail prices in each market is due to the differences in wholesale prices charged in each market by the major labels. Apple could use this as leverage against the labels to lower their prices in all major EU markets

Apple today announced that within six months it will lower the prices it charges for music on its UK iTunes Store to match the already standardised pricing on iTunes across Europe in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland and Spain. Apple currently must pay some record labels more to distribute their music in the UK than it pays them to distribute the same music elsewhere in Europe. Apple will reconsider its continuing relationship in the UK with any record label that does not lower its wholesale prices in the UK to the pan-European level within six months.
