It installs about 3 programs or more on your computer, adds at least one startup entry and about 3 services, and takes up rediculous amounts of memory. Plus, everything is automated for you to the point of driving you crazy. Want your own filenaming/directory scheme for your MP3s? Don't let iTunes touch it! Then there's the fact that you purchase inferior quality music that's got DRM all over it! Why would anyone do that? There's AmazonMP3, Rhapsody, eMusic, etc. and they are all high-quality DRM-free MP3s!</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7A58849B-158B-470C-B51D-189643005FAB/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
