So, with pretty much every other mp3 player in existence, the player acts like an external harddrive and you can just drag and drop files from your computer to the player. With iPod you NEED iTunes to put files on it...
It's so incredibly inconvenient, there must be some reason. Is it a copyright issue or legal issue or something? Is making everyone with an iPod install that stupid sofware some sort of advertising scheme?
So, anyone know why?

(If I asked Apple I'd get the answer only if it wasn't something like an advertising/control issue... If it was they'd certainly have a PR answer that was completely different from the real one!)

I dont know either. I agree with you, it must be some kind of advertising. But iTunes isn't as bad as you might think. I really like since I'm a music maniac and I like to keep in organize and iTunes lets me do just that in a simple yet elegant way.

Because iPods need the iTunes program to help organize the songs, albums, artists, and videos. If the iPods didn't have the iTunes program the songs and videos would be to hard to find.

Ask Apple why. We didn't create the iPod so we wouldn't know.
