To your point, if you don't uncheck the setting that tells it to
manage your files, that's exactly what it will do.

I use itunes (hate it, but I need it) to manage a lot of iDevices -
if you're careful setting it up the first time, it will very happily
coexist with squeezeboxserver without issue.

It has a lot of other problems, but that's an easy one to fix.
