iTunes on SLVR L7

I just received an L7 in exchange for the problems I've had with my RAZR.
I want to set up the iTunes and would like to avaoid using the BLOATWARE
software which also installs QuickTime. Does anyone know how to get MP3s
recognized via iTunes without using iTunes software or does anyone have
just the iTunes software without QuickTime?

TIA

just remove quicktime after you install itunes. i'm pretty sure
there's no way around that one. the cool thing about apple is that
their software is not nearly as intrusive as ms stuff. good luck

Why is this such a big deal? Just think of Quicktime as the essential
playback portion of iTunes, which it is. The amount of disk space
consumed by Quicktime isn't much by current standards (Adobe Reader is
117 MB) and hard disk sizes (hundreds of gigabytes), so it hardly
deserves the emotional outburst "BLOATWARE".

For all those interested, I found a replacement for iTunes at
http://www.motox.info/showthread.php?t=1297 called MotoTunes.

The program does the job. I have removed iTunes and QuickTime from my
system and just have MotoTunes now.
