Re:Ease of use vs price? (Score 1)

Even if you don't have itunes in sync mode, i would definitely prefer it over dragging out of the file system. It just so happens that all those features itunes is packed are usefull. (i know, crazy) Imagine i want to create a playlist for my ipod and sample the songs as i make it....or i want to see my library arranged by song name.....or i want to convert a song from aiff to mp3. And finally, I don't see what's more difficult about dragging songs from within the itunes window to the ipod icon on the left of the same window....especially since they're organized in any way you want.
