QT and iTunes - 12/10/2005 23:10
Any one notice that the latest quicktime download is tied to an iTunes install. Can't get one without the other. Nor do you get the chance to omit iTunes during the install.

Would Quicktime Alternative work for you?

I managed to find just a quicktime installer (without iTunes) just a few weeks ago... Needed to click around on the site a bit before I found it though...
Edit: It wasn't that difficult to find: Here

Funny, i just installed the new iTunes a few hours ago and it didn't include QT 7.0.3... I had to get it seperately

On your Mac or PC? My Mac downloaded iTunes 6 seperate from Quicktime 7.0.3. However, my PC downloaded a 32.9mb installer for both programs.

On my MAC... didn't try the PC yet. Sorry if I missed that he mentioned that...

33MB for mine, too. QT 7.0.3 is required to play the Fairplay-DRM'd videos for the G5 iPod, isn't it?

Didn't mention it, but is was on a pc. Sorry that my rant was a bit ill defined. It's just that so often I'm finding it a problem that installers are being provided in a bundled forms.
Heck the last logitch mouse I bought had about 5 different items that were offered for installation with the drivers, amoung them Musicmatch.
I did find the 6.something installer later, but at the time just needed QT right away. Apple's installer was one of the better I've used lately. It allowed me to choose the file associations I would allow.

On a PC, iTunes and QuickTime are now bundled. On a Mac however, they're still two individual downloads.
Musicmatch came with your mouse? That is just getting odd!

I downloaded QT for the PC just yesterday without iTunes. There is a link on the download page called Standalone Installer.

I think a better word may be desperate. MM should be taken out behind the shed and shot (IMHO, of course).

Yeah, they've had the QT/iTunes bundle for a couple months now. It's very annoying when you're trying to install QT on dozens of computers, but don't want iTunes. Fortunately, it's a simple matter of first telling the installer not to make iTunes the default media player, and then after it's finished installing, you can just remove iTunes seperately.
Apparently the new official AIM client is quite nice, but comes bundled with about 5 AOL programs that you aren't even made aware of at installation (this is in addition, I've heard, to large ads that pop up in the middle of conversations).
