Also I'm not sure if my phone will support the format, windows definitely not (without crap tunes). The only reason people use iTunes is because they have an iPhone, iPad or iPod and it's the only way they can do anything.

Making this iTunes exclusive is just going to force people to pirate it, but if SE wants to loose money like this eh its up to them.
I used to hate Apple and iTunes, too. What got me to use iTunes was that for me, it was the only way for me to burn music CDs and have no gaps between songs. I own some music that have continuous play after each track (nature-music albums that have no spaces between songs, such as ocean CDs and such), and so it's good to have iTunes for that. Windows Media Player can't do that for me. Plus it's very easy to organize music on iTunes, moreso than WMP. The first Apple product I bought was the iPhone 4S. I didn't buy it because of Apple, but the capabilities, the uses of apps, being able to use my music from iTunes, and such. I didn't mind the price because the device just had a lot of capabilities. I don't like Google, though. I also like Apple in a sense because Steve Jobs founded Pixar, and I love Disney movies.

So trust me, iTunes isn't a bad service. I am not a fanboy as I both like Apple and Microsoft. I just don't like Google for some reason (mainly because it's very easy to hack Android and get viruses and I've had issues with my old Galaxy S because of Android having problems on the phone). So yeah...
