The 'iTunes Backup' feature comes in quite handy and will allow you to save your library to CDs or DVDs.

Other than that, iTunes has all the features you'd expect in a media player, plus something special: you can easily subscribe to podcasts, TV shows and other types of content and each of these files are automatically delivered to your computer as soon as they become available. The application will play your videos and music in a heartbeat, help you organize playlists and library items. iPhone owners surely know that in order to buy and install apps hosted by the iTunes Store, they need the downloadable application which provides the necessary environment for purchasing software in a secure method. ITunes enables you to do anything you want with your gadgets, including backups, synchronizations, contact management and, most importantly, install applications from the Apple Store. Simplicity is perhaps the most appropriate word that can summarise its overall looks and usability. Apple iTunes is an advanced application that's not only a very good media player, but also a great iPod and iPhone manager.
