Not to mention I have no reason to use the iTunes music store when I can just get songs for free elsewhere.

Apple is trying to pull the same crap that Real did for awhile, making it difficult to get the free standalone version of their softaware. When I go to Real's site, I want to be able to see clearly where to go to get the free version of RealPlayer, and when I go to Apple's site, I shouldn't be forced to download and instal two programs in order to get one.
Yeah, yet another reason I hate iTunes. It lasted only a matter of and hour before I uninstalled it and Quicktime. If you must have Quicktime or Real get Alternative for both. Hell, I won't even install that. Either way you look at they both suck. If it's in Real or Quicktime format I just don't need to see it.
