I love the iTunes store. It's well thought out with the user in mind. The Zune store looks like crap and is hard to use, even with it's latest update and the point system is just dumb. It looks like it is still using windows 3.11. Something else I hate about the Zune. No equalizer. I suspect Microsoft removed it to try and boost the battery life. Also, if you are playing a song and pull up your pictures, the Zune chokes. Music stops, stutters. I've never had that happen with any of my iPods. I tried to like the Zune, but it's going up on ebay.

There are also plugins to let the iPod work with Foobar and WMP.
Actually, I don't think these plugins work with the iPhone/Touch or the classic iPods as Apple has changed things too much. Way to go Apple.
