iTunes

I’m not a huge fan of iTunes, I use it because it’s the best way to access Apple’s music store and there’s probably worse music players out there. But what’s with all the dependencies? I have to download and install iTunes 7 just so that I can buy the new Beck album? WTF? I just want some new music for my iPod, and don’t really care much for all the video gimmicks that come with it. I’m pretty damn sure that the old iTunes could already do music, can I please download it like I used to be able to? Ah well, I’ll just suck it up as usual and be annoyed by the additional Quicktime installation that Apple automatically forces on me. I already had that too and didn’t feel like upgrading, you know…

Update: Oh great, and now, with iTunes 7 installed, most of my purchased songs fail to authorize and transfer to the iPod. Thank you, Apple! I don’t mind DRM, but if you’re doing it, but better make sure that it works!

Update 2: Took a few days, but customer support has fixed the problem.
