Well, if you really don't want to use iTunes, set your files to play in something else. Most of my files play in vlc by default so they only play in iTunes if I want them to do that on purpose. Most of the files in my iTunes library are ones I purchased from iTunes. it is not really that I don't like iTunes; it's that I had a bunch of music I ripped before iTunes was even an idea in the back of my mind and so iTunes either doesn't identify them correctly or assigns tracks incorrectly or leaves the track blank which means your albums will play in alphabetical order of the song names usually. I haven't time to straighten this out so I primarily use vlc which doesn't mess with my files. If I still had all the cds I ripped and gave away, I'd have a fantastic iTunes library and I'd probably like it.
