whats the most common mac mp3 player software? iTunes?

a website i'm doing has MOV and MP3 files for download and i'm wanting to add "download now" type button thingumys and links to the appropriate software for both pc and mac

i know quicktime is the most popular player for MOV files and is widely used on both for pc and for macs so that one is covered, and for PC MP3s i've got a button graphic and link for winamp, but i'm at a bit of a loss as to what to advise mac users to download or use...

if it is iTunes, is it even worth adding a link to it or will most mac os users already have it?

any suggestions from the mac fraternity out there would be mucho appreciado.

ta

well I use iTunes for what thats worth Boss, but I'm not really a big fan, back in OS 9 days I used MusicMatch JukeBox, it was far easier to use and a lot less cranky than iTunes, still its free and the graphic equaliser is nice

is MusicMatch JukeBox quite popular then?

also, is it free? i cant see that site from work as its firewalled so have no idea

i only want to offer a link to something thats free

Media Player Classic, if I don't want said mp3 to automatically go into my Library (eg, any demos I'm working on) or if I just plain don't want to have to let it load its visualisations and other crap.
Works great for videos too.

Oh, sorry. I thought it would work on a Mac. Mind, not being foolish enough to use one, I wouldn't know. *runs for the hill*

Could one use an emulator?

just wait until mr blast and the fiend get you

I don't play those games no more Boss
and it seems Musicmatch no longer build a version for Macs

doh

thanks anyway...

iTunes it is then

bloody hell

all i want is an itunes graphic along the same lines as this:



can i find an official one? can i buggery.

i cant believe apple make it so hard to find one on their website

Quiff Boy,
for .mov files you can use also MPlayer, wich i think is the best free media player for MacOS X. take a closer look here, and yes iTunes stays the most pop audio

@ blast: thats HUGE!!

is there a standard web button-size one? something about 122x31 woudl be ideal as thats the same size as the winamp button i'm using...
