False binary. You don't have to use "any of the other sites like that" to maintain a music collection and use an MP3 player.
For me, the big problem with iTunes is that it takes control over how I organize my music in places where I want to keep that control myself. I'm fairly sure that this is not a problem for many people, but for me it is. Rearranging my music folder is a definite no-no.
You make a few good points here. I want to single this one out. The remark that started off this exchange was Bryaniek's:
I guess that, pre-iPod-success, I would have severely overestimated the proportion of people finding these fairly advanced complaints a dealbreaker. Then you arrive at the conclusion that nobody would want to buy an iPod.
