iTunes is a Sack of Wank

[Mister Spong]

Apologies for the title but I'm sick to the back teeth of iTunes doing stupid things - whether it be cluttering up my system with applications I don't want running in the background or not playing what I want it to.

I have two questions.

1) I've had to get rid of iTunes as it wasn't showing any of the music stored on my iPod. I've got a chunk of stuff on my iPod that I'd lke to get back onto my laptop. Is there an easy way to do it? I know that if I'd plugged it in with iTunes installed it would have synched iTunes to the iPod and wiped the flucking lot. I have stacks on iPod and I want it on my laptop.

2) Can someone recommend a decent alternative to iTunes that has a small footprint and does what it should without hacking me off?

Thanks all. I'm off to jab pins into an effigy of Steve Jobs.
