To Whoever This May Concern Responsible For Development of apps like QT Alternative, Real Alternative etc:

I am writing to say how much I have enjoyed QuickTime Alternative and suggest you make an iTunes Alternative soon and package and/or bundle with a future update to K-Lite Mega Codec Pack.

Sincerely,
maneeshpan

PS: An iTunes Alternative would be truly revolutionary!

We don't create the software, but just host mirrors.

ITunes already has Quicktime at its engine core. Why reinvent the wheel again?
These are freeware lite codec packs meant to be used with a directshow player like MPC. I doubt you will see a hacked or reworked version of Apple's robust multimedia player.

Besides there are already a few iTunes alternatives out there. wink.gif

Okay thanks!

I just want to share a little story now and that experience made me think of this suggestion I posted above:

One time I installed QuickTime Alternative on my computer to find iTunes had stopped working on my PC turns out installing QuickTime Alternative = deleting of QuickTime Player and I had to reinstall the acual QuickTime Player and remove QuickTime Alternative.

That was somewhat unfortunate and a wasteful time consuming process. Had I known this would have happened beforehand I would have never installed QuickTime Alternative on (my/a) PC in the first place.

I got to thinking after that their is a QuickTime Alternative so why was there no iTunes Alternative -- maybe I could have just installed that - replacing original iTunes (probably) and keep QT Alternative as well as an iTunes like application.

I work with QuickTime a lot more now than I used to since I switched to Mac OS X. I also have QT for Windows so I can run iTunes on both platforms.
