Over at ZDNet, Windows expert Ed Bott shows how to install iTunes components piece-by-piece, starting with extracting the components from the installer so that you can install each piece separately—he also walks through exactly which pieces you'll need to install depending on which iPod model you have, or which features you are using. It's a great read for anybody stuck using iTunes on Windows.

ZumoCast is really easy to setup. After a quick signup process, you'll just need to select media folders for ZumoCast to scan for relevant media types (music, movies, etc.). It does this quickly, so you'll be able to log in to your account on zumocast.com and access all your files.
From there, find a song or a video you want to play and click on it. It'll play back from your computer, regardless of where you are. This is, of course, limited by your connection's upload speed and your machine's speed. Even with a Core i7 and 8GB of RAM, CPU usage was a little ridiculous:
Important note: that's the awesome review of Star Wars Episode II depicted in the screenshot, not the actual movie (thankfully).
Zumocast is available now and works on both Mac OS X and Windows, plus your iPhone and iPad.

Amarok 2 has been out for awhile, but a lot of Linux users still prefer the less cluttered Amarok 1.4. Now, users of any operating system can get in on the action with the Amarok 1.4-inspired Clementine. it may not be as full-featured or unique as something like MediaMonkey or foobar2000, but more casual listeners unhappy with iTunes' lack of Last.fm or FLAC support will enjoy it.
It's a pretty basic playlist-based player, from which you can browse either a music library or just your hard disk. It supports a number of formats, including the oft-ignored Ogg Vorbis and FLAC, as well as a few different internet radio sources like Last.fm, SomaFM and Magnatune. It has support for notifications from both libnotify (on Linux) and Growl (on OS X) built-in, too. The only issue I had with it was that it didn't support the embedded cover art on any of my files—but its built-in cover art manager took care of that quickly by re-populating them all with info from Last.fm.
It's still in early stages, so it may become more feature-filled as time moves on, but for now it fits perfectly into the niche of people that don't need a superpowered music player but would like built-in support for some of the things that you need to install separately from something like iTunes (such as Last.fm, Growl, and FLAC).
Clementine is a free download for all platforms.
