Itunes is the biggest bloatware on this planet i can even call it a malware.
Say i want to copy a video, songs into a andro cell.
connect cell-copy paste
Apple product?
Connect-Open itunes-add to library-sync( Songs dont sync if its not in your computer) that sucks-its a longer proccess

just because you are used to handle your data in a particular way, does not make it more convenient
All your iTunes purchases are in the cloud forever. You can just delete the stuff you don't need, knowing for a fact that a perfect copy is just a click away. The system is designed to cycle data continuously, as against hoarding it. You don't end up with mountains and mountains of data as you keep using, say as on a desktop. This simplifies the process so much, that it becomes cumbersome to use a file manager, manage space, or worry about data fragmentation, or the burnt DVDs getting flaked.... all of that stuff is more convenient. Yeah Right.
After iOS 5, there is zero reason to use iTunes on a desktop. Can't think of one reason why I need to connect my iDevices to the iTunes on my comp :/
most bloated thing on the comp? prolly the pdf reader

Don't think so. Their DVD business is doing fine. No reason to launch a digital distribution (they will know better of Bandwidth problem probably better than Apple)

I would rather buy original music from anywhere else rather than Apple Store. Screw them.

at one time there was a rationale for piracy saying it was more environmentally easier and they were overpriced... this argument no longer holds for the price points in digital stores... even if it is overpriced, and the prices are falling, and will fall with more use
this hating apple thing may be in fashion and all but it is attitude polarization, a textbook case of conformation bias
iTunes Match, don't think that's in India yet, for $25 a year, you can sync your existing mp3 library with the store... interested in such a service?

Well said Anorion 
But iTunes Match is in India. I got my prompt first day to subscribe. It costs Rs.1200. I don't really have any need to subscribe to it.
Most albums cost way less than price of individual songs.

Not all music album cheap at itunes.....
Like at the time of this post
Rang De Basanti Priced at itunes Rs. 100/- at 256Kbps AAC format
Flyte 140/- at 320 Kbps MP3 Download
Flip Kart Audio CD Format 160/-
Here Itunes option Cheaper.
---------------
A Devotional Album (regional) by Anup Jalota cost at Itunes 120/- @ 256kbps AAC format.
Where Flyte the same cost 108/- @ 320 Kbps MP3 format.
So took Flyte way.
---------------
Looking for Asha Bhosle's Rabindra Sangget Album which released in the middle 80's.....there is no trace of the full album at Flyte only 1 or 2 Song available,where the Full album available at Itunes and divided in 2 different album which cost me 132/- (60+72).
The same album (audio cd) available in Music World and a leading music store in my city at 160/- & 150/- respectively.....So choice was obvious.....took the itunes way.
---------------
Except for Rang De Basanti.....these last 2 album not available freely....hmmmm way.
So for me Itunes & Flyte both are great....

oh we have match. cool. no need of mp3s anyway, as long as you have apps that stream music. between saavn and shoutcast, there's not much left. But still expected much brouhaha over legitimizing all your pirated music for Rs 1200 a year, maybe apple needs to amp up some of its infamous marketing here
