I still use iTunes for exactly the same job I've always used it for: playing music. It does what I need, and while Apple always lards it up with a bunch of new crap every time they upgrade, it's never been too difficult to figure out how to get rid of it again. I can't really blame them for wanting to show off their latest toys.<p>It's been a long time since I've looked at any other MP3 player, but last time I checked they were all a bunch of heaving graphical abortions designed by people who looked up to car stereos as examples of good design. iTunes at least looks like a normal application and doesn't try to take over my machine with bizarrely shaped windows.
