i think you're missing the key argument which is that playing music is just one of the many things iTunes does. Those of us who dislike it rarely hate it as much for its music playing as for the fact that it's a file transfer app (to get files into and out of ios apps), it's a iOS backup and sync manager, it's an OS updater, its a store, it's a music player, and probably 3 other things i've forgotten.

I'm not missing it, I'm ignoring it. I'd be fully okay with iTunes dropping all that stuff or using something different - if there were another alternative.
