iTunes has the capability of checking your library for licences for DRM

delete media when you remove items from the library.

The only reason I have iTunes installed is because one of the video
editors I use needs its codec pack. It gets nowhere near the music
collection.

iTunes DRM detection - scary! As in socialist scary!

All part of the Apple walled garden approach.

As far as deleting things from WMP playlists in its library, I make TRIPLE sure I'm deleting ONLY from the library and not from the comptuter.

I just use Winamp to manage the music. Free, no hassles, and it's also
available for Android, where it will import Windows .m3u playlists with
no problems. I believe there's even a plugin to link it to iPods, but I
could be wrong about that.

The tagging isn't brilliant, but it works every time. For bulk tagging
of mp3 files a directory at a time, I use the Godfather, which is free,
open source and very versatile.
