iTunes is tyrannical proprietary piece of garbage and not to mention a bloated application -- die die die. That I have to burn and rip any song just to get a simple mp3 is ridiculous Let it End! Put a stake into the heart of that shambling monstrosity iTunes.
Last night my wife was kind enough to introduce me to the blessed wonder of Amazon mp3 dowloads. Look an mp3 that's all I wanted not some stupid mp4.
By the way, did you notice mp4s are a lot like a movies. Mp4 the sequel to Mp3 it must be bigger better cooler! But then like most sequels it totally isn't. Its just bigger bloated and corporate tasting.
Let iTunes die by a simple mp3 from Amazon!

I vote caleb for president! itunes and ipods have always sucked.. i dont even install quicktime.. screw that .. use quicktimealternative and stop dealing with all the bull...
you write as if it's Apple's fault.
Here's a letter written to the record industry by steve jobs himself.
Since then, there as been a lot more music available DRM free.
I've bought stuff from Amazon though. it's okay. Nothing great.
Please . . . Amazon's is infinitely better. On every level it is better. Perhaps it's selection is smaller. I didn't notice.
Also, it isn't just the mp4s. How about the bloated obese iTunes? Is iTunes great?
Media Devices, specifically the iPhone, have become all-in-one devices. iTunes is an all-in-one application that it can easily sync with.
My nano actually pulls data from my calendar, address book, and photo applications too.
So iTunes could be even more "bloated" if it was also managing that information.
I think as time goes on, iTunes will just get bigger, just for the simple fact that no one is asking for less features.
So is iTunes great? Just because I love it's automatic features, music store, and simplicity, doesn't mean that you have to.
iTunes no longer has copy protection. You can come from the dark side now. The record labels gave in.
