I installed it only after losing and finding my phone to restore the phone; and it is annoying. It always pops up music whenever I plug my phone into charge. It also did some nonsense Outlook integration. I never buy media through iTunes, I always use Amazon; so iTunes provides little, if any value on an ongoing basis.

Ah yes, if you don't use iTunes for anything else it wouldn't make sense installing it just for this.

If you dislike that popup iirc there is a service that starts up to facilitate this behavior, simply turn that to manual and you are good.
