Oh god no. Please don't anyone make a music player that requires iTunes to sync. That's a locked in world of proprietary and getting jerked around by Apple.
I will never ever buy a Touch and the whole reason is because it requires iTunes and I refuse to manage my music library in iTunes. I already have my music library perfectly managed in J. River Media Center thank you very much. Why should I have to reduplicate all that in iTunes just to use a precious iPod Touch? I ain't gonna do it even if you gave me an iPod Touch for free.
The only reason I have an iPod Classic is because J. River Media Center is able to sync it and the iPod Classic does gapless playback. Those are the primary usability features that I care about. I have zero interest in any DAP that requires proprietary software to sync. That means no Zune HD or iPod Touch or iPhone.
