Winamp isn't a music store, and it worked fine last I checked. Nobody cares about killing iTunes, just the store - which is both a stupid idea and a badly worded title. Competition is good, but hardware integration is key and I don't see gBox pulling it off nearly as well as iTunes does.

ITMS is broken because of DRM and overpriced non-DRM music.
