iTunes Disables MusicMatch

spooza writes "If you own an iPod and use it with MusicMatch on a Windows machine and then install iTunes, strange things happen: after the installation, MusicMatch is unable to communicate or even find the iPod anymore. Of course this might be a coincidence or bad programming on the Apple side, but since MusicMatch also introduced a pay-per-download service it seems not too farfetched to suspect that Apple simply took the opportunity to knock out an opponent. The funny thing is, Apple and MusicMatch cooperated before, because Apple wanted to have software that was able to work with iPod and thus not lose potential customers that want to buy an iPod but have only Windows." MusicMatch recommends deleting, then downloading and reinstalling, the MusicMatch software to reenable it.

Re:Apple tells you this when you download iTunes

is this like how black comics can make jokes about how white guys dance bad, or have small penii, or can't jump and it is funny - but if a white guy made sterotypical jokes about blacks like that he'd get his cracker ass shot?

Are you windows users so hard set in your ways of having to outsmart your system that you can't grasp the concept of when a program asks if you want to have iTunes organize your MP3s and you say yes that it will actualy do what it says?
