Look guys, I think he already said he didn't really want to use iTunes
for this. Honestly, insisting that someone do things a certain way
that they already said they weren't interested in at this time is a
good way to put them off. Some people don't need or want a large media
player with a library and such, they just want to play files and
streams. That's it. And they have every right to not use iTunes if
they don't want to, though I usually don't see people giving up iTunes
once they've really started using it.
