From what you say, you don't need iTunes at all. Yes, it's a library app
that makes it easy to import and play music from CD and elsewhere, but you
*could* import your CDs using Finder and play the files using QuickTime or
VLC (iTunes actually uses QT to play media files; VLC is a free app that
plays just about anything).
