I'm a bit surprised that so few people use iTunes. There don't seem to be many on the forum (besides me, there's Vaishan, who rarely visits). And it's not like it's a bad player; it's actually quite good. In fact, it's almost ideal for managing a large music library. The interface is intuitive, everything is clear, and I can't imagine it causing any serious inconvenience. The only thing is that working with a library at a decent quality level might seem strange or unusual to many, or even unnecessary. In principle, yes, it's not really needed when you regularly listen to a hundred songs; a single large playlist in Winamp is enough. But when music is stored in complete albums and there's a lot of it, some kind of organization is still needed. All popular players have a decent level of organization, but I found the one in iTunes to be the most convenient. Everything is implemented simply and clearly, and the program, especially the latest version, runs quite fast. At this point, based on my subjective experience, it's on par with Winamp (I hope it's clear why I'm comparing it to this player). Another thing, if anyone is interested, iTunes has a much better implementation for working with album art than any other player. It's not a key indicator, but I personally find it more pleasant and convenient to work with album art, and I think images generally add a certain variety, although, again, it's not very necessary when you don't have a large digital library. In general, I've expressed my opinion about this player, and I hope it at least interests someone. If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them to the best of my knowledge. If anyone who is interested needs help getting started with the program (although there doesn't seem to be anything too complicated, questions can still arise), I'll be happy to help. And I'm attaching a couple of screenshots showing how the album display system is implemented using album art (this is not the only display method, but in my opinion, it's the most convenient).

O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.


G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
