AFAIK WMP doesn't have anything of that sort.

And I'm only being 1/2 sarcastic. But iTunes is pretty well done.

Only AAC files bought from the iTunes Store are protected like that. Regular AAC files that you rip from CDs can easily be converted within iTunes, with a little loss in quality.

It looks like the majority of people here like iTunes best.
I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. -The Notebook
You can get an application called Switch to convert .m4a and .m4p files from iTunes into WAV, MP3, and more.
iTunes seems to be coming out on top here, I think.

>> WMP is a piece of junk.. iTunes is the best.
Justify that! You can't just say something like that without giving any shred of proof to support your view!
>> AFAIK WMP doesn't have anything of that sort.
I think you can. It's called "Auto Playlists", and you can insert cite certain criteria which specifies the songs which make it onto the playlist.
I personally like WMP better, but that's only cause I have only used WMP properly. I have seen iTunes. It looks OK. I think WMP 10 (or is it 11? I can't remember which is the newest version), has most of the useful functionality that iTunes has.

iTunes is alright but i prefer the layout of wmp, i don't care about playlisting everything ~ i just stick it on random generate mode (shuffle)
btw it's version 11 now iTunes is summit like 7.2 is it?
