I don't really find it all that bad honestly. I like being able to have content at my fingertips on the iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV. The iTunes library / store does make things easy to avoid blowing through data / bandwidth by transferring new songs, movies, etc. when I want to while connected only to my LAN (not over the Internet). You certainly can stream over the net if you want but why would you? It kills battery life and you'll rip through monthly data awfully fast.

Sorry but while I find iTunes to be a little bit clunky I don't have the intense disdain for it most here seem to. Maybe I'm just more tolerant - dunno. There doesn't appear to be any alternative out there that does anything close to what it'll do either...
