I've had iPods (Classic and Touch) for years, but have a love/hate relationship with Windows version iTunes. How well does iTunes play with the G4, and if not, nicely is there a better alternative I can use my current iTunes Library?

I have Google play on my G4 and on my laptop I have Google music manager. It auto syncs any and all songs from iTunes into Google play music. Works pretty good. If my wife downloads a song on her iphone, it's on my phone minutes later.

I use a similar setup. Google Music Manager will sync your local music to the cloud, and you can then steam it to phones, other computers, chromecast etc.

Taking a little vacation and will keep my iPod Classic as my default player for now, so I don't have to master another new thing at the moment. Probably look at iSyncr since I don't want to have to stream all the time, but haven't picked up a Micro SD card yet to load my library onto.

I guess the money's not worth it for Google to create a true competitor to iTunes. Like a lot of iStuff, Apple does a great job with 80% of it, and the other 20% I absolutely can't stand.

A little surprised iTunes isn't available for Android, but guess Steve explains it and Apple's philosophy best himself...
"We thought about whether we should do a music client for Android. We put iTunes on Windows to sell more iPods. But I don’t see an advantage of putting our own music app on Android, except to make Android users happy. And I don’t want to make Android users happy"
