new iTunes Feature

Apple - iPod + iTunes

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).
