no, Apple isn't a bad company.
i just like to put any ring tone on my phone i like.
and iTunes simply doesn't offer those.
furthermore there is no iTunes for Linux / GNU, thus i couldn't even put my plain dumb MP3s that i got from my CDs with soundKonverter on my phone.
thus, i guess, we have a new topic @ hand... conspiracy between Steve Jobs & Balmer to force users to have windooooz just to be able to install iTunes to update their music collections or download their pictures or movies...
unless one wants to go MacIntosh all the way, of course.

and as opposed to what erendorn alluded to, there wasn't anything personal.

apologizes for whatever it was that upset you.
