Since day 1, I've been a fierce opponent of iTunes. Although there are now sort-of alternatives, it's one of my strong reasons for not wanting any Apple i* products.<p>The saddest thing for sure was back in the day, when it was even less useful than it is today (but maybe less bloated) when it was hailed as the Greatest Thing Ever by my teenage cohort.<p>No, no, no! I yelled from the ramparts, but none would listen. When they would come visit, I would show them the psychedelic visualization power of WinAmp, its flexibility, and many other lovely tricks - to no avail!
