It will be welcomed by all three Mac users who happen to have a Zune...

I'm one of the three, so this is good news for me.

Honestly if the port is good then it's good news for Mac users in general, the Zune software is, in my opinion, a better music player than iTunes, independent of whether or not one owns a Zune device.

I'm also a fan of the subscription service.

So what is the best iTunes alternative on Mac and/or Zune/WMP alternative on Windows? Why are the alternatives better?

I'm curious what others run instead because on Mac I have personally had no issues what-so-ever with iTunes and i have a pretty large library (over 100g). In the past I've run iTunes on my work machine (PC XP) for a long time too since I'm familiar with it and I haven't had much trouble with that either.
