But you're happy to have your music files in proprietary WMA format

instead of an ISO standard like MP3? iTunes will play pretty much every format except WMA (although the Windows version will, I believe, convert them for you, although there might be quality loss as with any transcoding). I think you can even find plug-ins for FLAC and Ogg Vorbis (don't quote me on that)

The problem most people have with iTunes is the way it stores and names the files; but if you're not sharing them (that would be naughty of course) then I don't think it matters. I like the way it presents the music to me and easy to navigate to what you want to heard. It's a doddle to rip a CD.
