new iTunes Feature
The new iTunes apparently has a sweet new feature. If you need your soundcard uninstalled and drivers deleted, just install iTunes and it will do it for you. iTunes upgrades have so far deleted the soundcards 2 for 2 where it has been installed at work. It still has all the added bloatware that the fanboys have come to love though, don’t worry.
3 Services get installed when you install iTunes:
- Apple Mobile Device
- Bonjour Service
- iPod Service
Which run 4 executables all the time, as a handy feature:
- AppleMobileDeviceService.exe
- mDNSResponder.exe
- iTunesHelper.exe
- iPodService.exe
I use Winamp. It has 0 services and 0 executables running all the time. It even works just fine with my work iPod Touch (its a decent cheap PDA).
