Apple disables iTunes plug-in | Tech News on ZDNet

Read about this here.

I, for one, will continue to avoid iTunes like the plague. It is totally infuriating to use and to be frank, sucks. If your machine decides to lose all your data, how are you supposed to get your songs off the iPod and back into iTunes? Exactly. Which is why I've been using ephPod for some time now. Ok, it crashes occasionally, but it's great for moving songs on and off the pod and editing tag info. Get real Apple - you're gonna lose customers through this (well, at least as far as iTunes is concerned).
