I hate, HATE iTunes

iTunes has gotten so bad it's almost funny - it's certainly ridiculous.
When I got my first iPhone I tried to sync it with the contacts on my computer. For some idiotic reason you had to use iTunes. I used the default settings (my mistake) and the stupid thing tried to put all my music and half a terabyte of images on my phone. Lesson learned, Apple's total integration/complete f-up of your devices scheme can't be trusted.
Then I got an Apple TV and every time I turn on the Apple TV iTunes wakes up my computer and starts playing my music collection. iTunes is making me sorry I even HAVE a music collection.
Yesterday I installed a new Chamberlain garage door opener and when I used the external keypad to open it music started playing out of my phone! Yeah, iTunes has even invaded my garage door opener. The thing is, I deleted iTunes radio from my phone, or so I thought. The icon isn't there, but if I open my garage door the app launches and starts playing music. Without the app icon I can't intentionally play music on the phone, but it's a comfort to know that if I have a need to rock out to Aqualung through a squeaky little iPhone speaker all I need to do is open my garage door.
Apple - WTF??
