I think I tunes is worse, it automatically changes the format of all your MP3s into AAC so you can only use them on a I pod or I tunes (or it used to) then keeps asking to download updates.

When I got my new PC I downloaded quicktime wihch I tunes comes with and only installed quicktime and disregrded I tunes, it still asks me to get updates for it even thouhg it isnt installed!

Then again Media player always wants updated too and appears to go wacco if you dont get the updates!

Think there both the same in my opinion!
