Just searching for tunes using Explorer or CLI is not the same  
thing. With the mp3 tags in place, it's very easy too look up a  
genre, a year, any part of the artist's name or title.  iTunes  
as a local music database manager is very quick.  Plus.. I  
liked the built-in local network support to share tunes across  
PCs.

I had to drop Winamp for some reason.. don't remember what.  I  
used it quite a bit with my WinME set up.
