While not a competitor to iTunes, most people are familiar with it, so we offer the following comparison.
MOD Machine is to video DVDs what iTunes is to music CDs.
iTunes and MOD Machine share some basic functionality:
• A catalog that self-updates
• Products download to a local hard drive and can be played offline
• The user can quit the program and downloads will automatically resume the next time the software is launched
• Products are protected against copying with proprietary DRM
• Links within the program can open a browser to a desired website or page
• Customer information is retained to streamline future purchases (MOD Machine allows the user to opt out, if desired)
Key Differences:
