I mean, who doesn't expect that from any company? Braking news, Apple wants to sell more stuff and possibly a new computer to you! Who 'd have thought. Point is, SOMEONE is going to end up with your money, mates, it's called capitalism. Yea well, iTunes 7 seems to work fine on my MacBook, but not that fine on my trusty PowerMac G4 desktop beast.

itunes is still pretty usable without the store. and it’s search and navigation features are still unmatched, at least by the available competition on os x.

I just don't like some of the more draconian measures it implements on my ipod. I was recommended anapod explorer. It was like $25 but its totally worth it in my opinion. I'm not some plant either. I mean check it out if you want but my point is there are many alternatives to iTunes that are great. itunes isn’t very good for many reasons.
