Use ADB. Need some time to set it up first.
Meaning if you decide that you want to use another software to manage your media, the next update for itunes and iOS will break the sync support for that software. Apple will want to lock you into using Itunes.
The reason is very simple. Other software like winamp or banshee in Linux has their own music store or podcast. This scares apple to death. They want people to buy music from itunes (they make 30% cut from it), not from another music store.
Having a software that manages all your media, podcasts, ebooks and all that is very nice. However, when you are forced to use buggy itunes only, it is an disadvantage to consumer POV because they are restricted to one choice only.
That is a monopoly. I like a platform where competition is present because it will always spur better innovations.
