Why imply it is a lack of common sense that is the only way someone could prefer iTunes?

Nothing wrong with drag n drop but for me it is a longer process and it isnt possible to use JUST drag and drop to do what I need to do.than iTunes so I use iTunes

Connect iPhone(iTunes opens automatically) import file into iTunes which then adds cover art(impossible using drag and drop you would have to have some software installed to do this) and allows me to edit any metadata then drag and drop it to my iPhone.

Its not a lack of common sense that makes itunes make MORE sense for ME and MY situation.

There are no restrictions imposed by iTunes that in any way impact on what I actually want to do.

ITunes is fine for me and better than drag and drop, for you its the other way round.

Is that any reason to say I lack common sense?

it seems to be you that lacks the ability to see that others are different to you and as such have different requirements and needs.
