I have none. I have no itunes account, and no appstore account. That means that I can't use any of these apps and that's exactly how I want it to do. iTunes stopped being vaguely usable around OS X 10.4, FWIW. The AppStore may be nice enough to use, but is probably not worth the deal for me; Apple has no business knowing anything about me. As I don't like what's coming with OS X anyway, sooner or later I'll jump ships for good.

The app store uses your ITMS account. They are one and the same stores.

  I don't know the details in and out as I don't use them. I care about privacy (no FB account) and openness (Free Software for ever). Apple is on a downward slope on both accounts.

I fail to see how you not wanting to use iTunes has any relevance to the problem of joining up multiple accounts.

  That's the way I solved this particular problem. No iTunes -> no account -> no problem. As I don't like what Apple products are becoming, I advise people to choose this solution. Haters (fanbois) gonna hate, etc.

You don't want any accounts, you don't have any accounts. Why are you even commenting on the article? The problem has nothing to do with you. What next, tell us how you haven no tv?

Btw., I can't stop thinking about your comment regarding iTunes, "stopped being vaguely usable around 10.4". I don't mean to pick an argument, but I really wonder what you mean by that. As far as playing music it is just as good (meaning perfectly fine) now as it was back in 10.3 when I began using OS X. iTunes sure has grown since, and does a lot more than playing music today, but it still plays music painlessly, just as it did 7 years ago. And then there's always Vox: http://voxapp.didgeroo.com/ http://voxapp.didgeroo.com/

  I first used iTunes on Mac OS 9. Since then it only grew bigger, slower, more cluttered (I don't care about iP* devices, I wouldn't use them at any price). For years I've found it much too big and clunky for my taste. VOX is indeed fine.
