I caved in and got itunes after the only real rock station on the radio decided to talk to much again. When I tune into a radio station and hear maybe 1 song play through an entire 40 minute drive something is horribly wrong.
So I figured, "you know I have the Iphone my boss gave me to keep in contact during housecalls, I bet I can load my music on that" So I get home and start playing with it. And it seems like all things apple, they require you to use itunes to do anything with it. Because they are assholes like that. I like my winamp dammit.
After spending a few hours trying to find alternatives to let me put music on my phone without itunes, and without jailbreaking (it is still technically my boss' phone. Doubt he would care, but I don't wanna do it without permission), I learned how to extract files from a .exe, without actually installing the exe, (in this case, itunes setup) came across a plugin for winamp that looked very promising but apperantly does not work with iphone 3Gs, a program called sharepod that looked promising but only seems to be for copying from a iphone, and cannot copy TO an iphone.
I eventually just said to myself 'screw it' and installed itunes. Damn apple. Why require me to use your clunky ass program to do what should just be a matter of copy and pasting a mp3 into a folder? Oh, awesome, you installed something called bonjour and a memory resident 'helper' in the background too without asking.
And guess what? My friend uses my computer to charge their Ipod shuffle! If my previous experiences with itunes proves true, they will no longer be able to do that without their shuffle getting wiped and their music replaced by mine!
Maybe I'm blowing it out of proportion, but god I hate itunes.
EDIT: Oh hey, Vector's back?
