I personally think it's a POS, but that's my opinion. Who needs a music
player that installs all the crap iTunes does. And if apps are installed
on a different partition than C: (all mine are on E:), the installer
allows iTunes to install to a different partition, but then everything
else is installed to C:.

If a person doesn't have an iPod, there are a LOT of alternatives. Like
I said, Winamp is small, does the job, and it doesn't need to be
reinstalled. It's one of those apps that are all contained in their own
folder. No files thrown all over the system or a bazillion registry
entries. But I use version 5.24, so newer versions may not be the same.

I have seen far too many issues with iTunes on client machines and
workstations. And when Apple decided to sneak in Safari in, that was it
for me. I try to get users to try alternative players.
