from a new iPhoner..is iTunes the only game in town ?

[ringbell]

i've uploaded my cd's and downloaded music and ringtones through iTunes ... since my iPhone came with NO SOFTWARE allowing me to hardwire and download directly from my hard-drive ... are there any alternatives to iTunes ? newby would appreciate some help...Thanks

Nope. iTunes only.

thanks for the info..... same old Apple... built a superior product----- keep it all to your self---- and get top dollar .....i'm not unhappy with iTunes ..... some alternatives would have been nice..... thanks again

I see no need for an alternative. iTunes is great, and works wonderfully with the iPhone.

ringtones .... not a need - certainly a desire. ... all those songs and so few with bells.

Sorry, iTunes is shite.

Ideally, you should just be able to just add/remove mp3's as if it was just a storage device and iTunes would display all the metadata with each mp3 to help you organize.
