In the past I have installed the iTunes software. Unfortunately it hijacks all of the media file extensions. Very similar to what happens when installing QuickTime. As long as you don't want to use windows Media Player as your default player, you may not be affected. Otherwise your system is throughly messed up as some(various) applications expect Windows Media Player and won't work without it.
For that reason and ones of personal preference, I won't be installing either QuickTime or iTunes.
But what I am REALLY looking for is the ability to use my POD, my Palm Treo 700w.
But thanks for the reply.
