I'm sure you know that you can tell iTunes to leave your audio files
alone and where they are.
That said, I don't like iTunes either, for lots of reasons. I don't like
any of these modern apps that put all the files in one huge pile
somewhere. We're supposed to use tags or something to categorize them. I
still much prefer putting stuff in the folders I want them in.
I know. I'm hopelessly old fashioned.

Frankly, I can't stand the way iTunes mangles your music collection. I lost
my iPod Classic walking out to the garage at work recently, somebody found a
nice surprise on the sidewalk that day, and I don't miss iTunes. It took me
days to get my collection back to normal, deleting all the ghost folders and
all the pointers to compilations iTunes left littered throughout, along with
just plain odd stuff that it did.
I installed Songbird on the upstairs computer and it's pretty good. Fairly
iTunes-like in appearance, almost a cross between iTunes and Winamp, but I'm
still getting used to it. It seems to leave the music collection alone as
well, but it doesn't support Zune yet, so it's just for playback in the
living area.
