What, exactly, is this obsession that people have with iTunes? I mean, just what is the problem with a free piece of software that allows you to rip your own cd's in a variety of bitrates and file formats, will let you use files from a variety of sources, and will work with any number of players and phones, either with playlists or drag-and-drop, gets all the track info and finds album artwork? I really don't get why some people have this idea that a well designed, easy to use application is somehow crap. Compared to what? Why is something that is designed for the average music fan to handle their music in a simple, easy to understand fashion a bad thing? Why do some people want to make life as difficult as possible? I just don't understand this whole anti-Apple thing, when anyone with the merest hint of experience of Apple's OS and iTunes and anything that the dead unimaginative hand of Microsoft knows that MS products are as far from intuitive an ergonomic as it's possible to get. I say this as someone who's been involved in design for years and has an appreciation for things that are well designed and easy to use. Apple have an English designer who understands that, not a committee who try to produce a thoroughbred racehorse and end up with a mule.
