Which doesn't matter to me one whit, since I get my music from Rhapsody.
In other words, iTunes is entirely superfluous to me, and making me download
it is exasperating. And, Rhapsody's DRM is easily circumventable, since I
can convert the files to CD, then pull them into Windows Media Player
without DRM. I don't think that functionality exists in iTunes, which "some
people" think is superior to all other online music stores.
And, if I needed to import the music into an iPod/iPhone, I could just start
with the CDs I exported from Rhapsody. Another boon: when an iPod/iPhone
crashes (you actually only rent the hardware), I don't need to buy the
content all over again; I just start with the CDs exported from Rhapsody.
I've actually had to do that a few times when moving content to new
computers. The only costs are the original music purchase, and the cost of
backup CDs.

Not exactly. There are a number of features in iTunes that rely upon
QuickTime for importing and transcoding music. You don't need the
paid version for these features.
