"But you've got me on one thing. I just visited iTunes.com (I don't actually own an iPod, they don't play Ogg), and noticed that iTunes software CAN control an external player:"
"Stream Music Wirelessly to Your Home Stereo. With iTunes and an AirPort Express Base Station, you can stream music wirelessly from your Mac or PC to your home stereo or powered speakers."
I don't think so. The streaming part is just streaming wireless to Apple's AirTunes, which has an output that plugs into the Audio In of your stereo. I don't think we can say this "controls" the stereo. If so, you might construe every radio station you tune to as "controlling" your stereo. You could say your CD player "controls" the stereo and clearly these things don't control, they just provide a source for input.
iTunes neither controls the iPod in this sense; it writes files to it. iTunes doesn't play directly through the iPod, either. So I think it stands that iTunes does not control the iPod player.
I wonder if they will use that same lady who was the head of the previous marketing campaign to write her story about how she 'switched' to Windows, and then use a photo from stock.
