Nope, iTunes particularly has a pretty poor UI,

Nope, plenty of cellphones leave it for dead, essentially
because they integrate the media player with other capability.

The iphone isnt the only cellphone that is also a
media player, they've been around for years now.

Essentially because its an Apple product.

All the other media players dont have that brand recognition.

Thats the main reason MS so completely dominates PC apps now.
