   Yes, it would be.   
      
   "iTunes" is a term collision.  It's both the utility used to administer   
   music / audio / podcasts /and/ a store / market to purchase music from   
   Apple.

   You can easily use the utility aspect of the same software to manage   
   your own music library.  E.g. your music that you own on plastic / vinyl   
   / Mylar / what have you.  I have a very large percentage of my CDs   
   imported into my iTunes library.  I have configured iTunes to use mp3   
   files instead of the aac (?) that it defaults to and to never upload to   
   the cloud.  I found iTunes to be quite convenient for ripping my CDs.   
   It would fetch album & track info from somewhere, title tracks, and pull   
   in cover art, all while using standard open mp3 files on my local   
   computer.  I then use iTunes to sync the desired mp3s to my iPhone.   
   This has been my workflow for more than a decade.
