Dimwit. Itunes is DEISGNED to work with iPods. Its free, but like a lot of
software, to get the most out of it you have to pay. In this case, you have
to pay for hardware.

Which sums up why you don't have a clue why iTunes/iPod won. Everyone CAN'T
copy music from the computers file manager. A large proportion of the
computer using population haven't a feckin' clue where their music is
stored, what My Computer is, or that there Mp3 player MIGHT mount as a
drive.
People like you are the ones that design the crappy pieces of shite that
fail to compete with Apple. Why? Because you don't understand the general
public. And because of that, Apple will continue to dominate until someone
makes something easier and better.
Get it into your thick head. Apple won because they have a better solution
for the great unwashed masses.
I have about 6,000 songs on my computer, about 100 from iTMS, of which I
paid for about 20. At any time all that music could be moved to another
computer of music player with no effort at all. Not very restrictive.
