Shane, There are plenty of music stores to buy from, but the reality is you need some way to get that content onto the iPhone. I agree, iTunes is a very different approach to what I was used to before I got an iPhone, but I think there's a way to set it up to meet everyone's needs. I, for example, used to transfer folders of music to my smartphones and MP3 players. I had, for example, folders containing individual albums, as well as folders containing songs not tied to specific albums. In iTunes I simply use playlists to represent "folders" and just think of them as folders. Even though you can browse albums, artists, etc. I still make playlists for, for instance, full albums. This way I can see them altogether and it gives me the feeling of browsing a list of folders, if you will. Of course, that's my own personal way of setting it up but you may well find a way that you prefer. But I urge you to give it a try! For a small price per year you can even have everything updated over the internet ithout your having to think about it. No need to so much as connect your iPhone to the computer.
File management apps are fine but you lose out on a lot of functionality which you could get by using the native music library, such as waking up to songs, or requesting music that you want to hear with your voice via Siri or voice control.
