What Is Your Favorite Ilife App? vote

We just got iLife '05 and it reminds me how much I LOVE iLife. Which one is your favorite? I'm thinking GarageBand. Making movies with iMovie and iDVD is fun, but I don't have movie to edit very often. iPhoto is nice and iTunes is awesome, but you can get it without iLife. So Thinking GarageBand is my choice. I want to make some tunes.

I have never used any of this "Ilife" stuff, but from what i have read garage band sounds pretty cool, and like you said, i don't really have material to work on with iphoto or Idvd or whatever it is, so making stuff from scratch is more ideal for me.

I think on a whole, my favorite/most used iApp is iTunes. Now that I have an iPod, I'm finding myself using it even more (which is pretty incredible, seeing as how much I used it before). I've dabbled with the other iApps before, and each has its place. I'll go a little in depth for each.iTunes: I personally disliked it when it first came out. I mean, come on, Apple bought the best MP3 player around (SoundJam) and transformed it from a great GUI to the blah brushed metal theme. At the time, I loved SoundJam, and this was beyond repair. However, as time went on, I began to notice that it doesn't matter what the thing looked like, as long as it could organize my music and play it at a good rate, I could live with it. Now, it's always open, and I love my keyboard that can control it using actual buttons.iPhoto: The second (?) iApp to be released was good when it first came out, and now, I refuse to use it. Why? Because it can't do anything that Photoshop can't do. Sure, you can order pretty books, but really, with the online photo labs out there (MPIX!), you're better off just printing yourself that way and binding it at home. The slide shows are nifty though...which leads me to...iMovie: I don't have a digital camcorder. Nor do I want one. So why do I use iMovie? To make slideshows! It's super easy to create slide shows using the Ken Burns effect using iMovie, then burn it to a cd or dvd. I guess I could use it for actually making movies, but nah...iDVD: Haven't used it. Don't really see the point in using it so far.GarageBand: I've only dinked around a little with this pseudo-iApp. It's something on my "to-do" list, as I have a rather nice keyboard that I'd love to hook up. Maybe after I finish doing the 20+ things on my list.So, that's my rundown. iLife is nice, but it's a pity that Apple quite giving basic updates for free for iPhoto and iMovie. I can remember plenty a night wishing for the latest versions of both, only to find I had to buy the set. At least iTunes is still free.

I would have to say Garageband. It is really fun to make music because it gives you a different perspective of the whole industry. It kind of gives you a better understanding of what the artists do throughout the week. iTunes is also great, but since it is free from Apple's website, I don't really count it as an iLife app.I like iPhoto because it is an easy way to store all of my pictures, and it takes the pictures of my camera, effortlessly.iMovie is pretty awesome also, but I have yet to use iMovie HD.Since I don't have a Superdrive, I have yet to find a need for iDVD. Needless to say, I still installed it.
