Next, I need to jump through hoops to stop the syncing. iTunes starts up, and has to do it's thing. I can't just cancel the sync, I have to click through popups coming from iTunes to cancel the stupid sync before I can shut it down again.
No you don’t. There is probably one of those annoying “Check if you never want to appear this dialog again” checkboxes (which are for some reason all too common in iTunes), but that’s a one time thing, after that you only ever have to click once to cancel.
Or you could just slide to cancel the sync on your iPhone or iPod touch. That’s actually the easiest way to do it. Then you are immediately back to where you were and can continue listening. It’s instantaneous and I do it all the time when I plug in my iPod touch for charging and not syncing.
