It's not just about music downloads though is it. I use iTunes on a
Mac with two iPods and there's other stuff that iTunes sadly does over
and above music downloads.

* Podcast management is better than any other combined download and
syncing tool on Ubuntu (IMO)
* Firmware updates to the player can only be done via iTunes (as far
as I can tell).
* Syncing everything to the right categories so the menus make sense
on the player.

Don't get me wrong, I hate iTunes, but sadly it works.

Cheers,
Al.
