iTunes fuss

I don't understand this hype behind iTunes. Aside from podcasting and the ability to see how many times you've played a track, I see no advantages to iTunes. And if I want music, it's either bit torrent or the record store. Smart shuffle? I'll stick to picking tracks myself or better yet, I'll stick to the album track listing. In fact, iTunes seems to suck up more system resources than Winamp.


Is there any reason why I should use iTunes rather than winamp?
