I no longer have an iPod, but iTunes is my preferred mp3 player. I have no need for the iPod service and I do not want it running.
I've tried stopping, disabling and deleting the iPod service, but it always returns when I start iTunes.

Would it be safe or even a good idea to delete the exe all together?

I have ended it via Task Manager. I even deleted the iPodService.exe, but it came back the next time I ran iTunes.

It never uses more than 5,000 K. It's not any trouble to me. I just don't see a need for it since I don't have an iPod and therefore, I do not want it running. But in any case, I think you're right. iTunes seems to have a dependency and I can't remove it permanently. It always 'reinstalls' when I open iTunes. Thanks though.
