Steve Jobs was also very conflicted about whether to bring iTunes to PC

Perhaps many PC users will complain about various issues with the PC version of iTunes, but have you ever thought that even former Apple CEO Steve Jobs struggled for a long time, struggling over whether to bring iTunes to the PC. In fact, according to a recent interview by Nest CEO (former Apple executive) Tony Fadell, bringing iTunes to the PC had triggered a heated discussion with Jobs within Apple until the well-known technology critic Dr. Mo came out to break the deadlock.

Fadell said in the interview that every Mac user would buy (iPod) in the past, but there were not many Mac users at that time! I had a team at the time to make iTunes compatible with PC, but Jobs said: "Until I die, we need to sell Macs. This is why people buy Macs." Fadell said to Jobs: "Steve, iPod sells for $399, but in fact it (price) is much more than that, because you also need to buy a Mac, we have to give users a chance to experience it."

Fadell recalled that it was Schiller who finally explained to Jobs the importance of bringing iPod (iTunes) to the PC, and Jobs agreed, but on the condition that he let his favorite technology critic Dr. Mo try it out. If Dr. Mo said it was good enough, Apple would bring iTunes to the PC.

Finally, the PC version of iTunes was released to consumers in October 2003.
