That's along similar lines to OP's ref to Sony's Sonicstage - some years ago I bought a teeny-weeny little Sony Walkman MP3 player only to find that you had to use Chronicstage to put music on. Not only that but there was no default to import as MP3 and it all had to be in Sony's crappy Atrac3 format. So my entire iTunes library had to then be copied in to Sony's software to then be converted to Sony's proprietary format meaning I could've ended up - had I been less savvy - with the same music library three times.
The only issue I have with iTunes is the constant nagging about QT and it's constant need to update - disabled now so all is well. For mp3 downloads I usually use drm-free Amazon, and then import into iTunes.
