I have never used iTunes for music management or MP3 ripping, but I do know that from an iPod management standpoint, it does try to do too much. It tries to take over my iPod.
When I installed iTunes and used it for the first time (I had been using gtkPod on Linux before, but my work computer is Windows) it deleted ALL of my playlists. The music was still there, but it wasn't organized.
Then a friend of mine bought a used iPod and put a bunch of music on it. When he took his iPod to work and used iTunes, it auto-sync'd his iPod with his work computer, didn't find any of the iPod music on the computer and decided to delete all his music, without any warning.
This is why I bitch about iTunes doing too much ... there are some things which should not be left up to the application to decide.
