Well, in the computers I've seen it pre-installed on, it wants to be your audio application for everything, and in one case, it wouldn't give up control of the file associations, so we uninstalled it. Also, it's main purpose is something I don't do, which is downloading music. Of course, iTunes is like that, too -- I am not going to use it for burning CDs, so I've turned off the system service it insists on installing. This means iTunes complains every time I start it that the CD burning service is not running so I won't be able to burn CDs. Well, DUH!!! I don't *want* to burn CDs. Also, much of the software that I've tried for all of this assumes you're downloading music, and want to share your own music, so it has builtin communication with various databases of music. I guess I'm in a vast minority, but I have no interest in any of that. I just want to be able to burn CDs and created MP3s of music I've performed and composed. I suppose that expecting all this to be free is my mistake. -- David W.
