Lol, I know I'm probably going to be in the minority here but, I honestly don't have many problems with iTunes, Especially on the Mac. Do people not like iTunes because it forces you to handle your music in a specific way you aren't accustom to or, want? Or is there other reasons. Because for me, once I learned how iTunes treats your media, and how it goes about organizing and such, I don't find it any more cumbersome then any high end music app. For example, Windows media player.
