WebMonkey has come to the conclusion that iTunes sucks, and has posted its top ten reasons for saying so.

ITunes sucks. There, we said it. Apple’s once very handy jukebox and music library manager has morphed into an unusable piece of crap that’s not even an app anymore, it’s just a kiosk for the iTunes Store.

Top Ten Reasons:
- It’s a store, stupid
- The library manager is prehistoric
- No web browser/Wikipedia/anything
- No plug-in architecture
- Massive memory footprint
- No support for other music formats Ogg/FLAC/etc.
- Drag and Drop sucks
- Bloatware downloads
- Can’t use iPod as a music transport with iTunes
- iTunes is slow

WebMonkey has also setup an area where you can submit and vote on your own issues with iTunes. They suggest checking out Songbird or Amarok as iTunes alternatives...
