itunes is very simple to use… and your either a whining bitch because the play button doesn't have flashing lights around it or a total dumb shit who can't find the on button on their computer.

itunes artwork works perfectly, and copying and pasting artwork into the artwork box on a song or a selection of songs is not a hack you dick its the way the program was made to work if you were manually putting it in/ otherwise it automatically does it for you… and if you can't get it to your not doing it right, but really its very very simple…

the speed depends on your computer if you have a shit computer its going to run like shit, if its clogged up with stuff then its also going to run like shit….. if you have no fucking idea what you are doing like yourself then according to you the software is also shit…. ipods are great, itunes is great, and you probably don't even know how to wipe your own ass.

as for the movies and photo's don't even get me started, and itunes does a fine job of not creating duplcates…. and it organizes your library so effectively and i don't have trouble with duplicates or wasted space….. and i have 67GB of songs…. not one is duplicated… and i didnt have to delete any duplicates….

so stop dissing out the software just cuz you have no fucking idea what you are doing…. learn to use it cuz its really simple…. ill even buy you a “itunes for dummies” book, the big yellow ones you can't miss….. for people like you….

I think that the people at Apple should take a course of beginners programming, because the way they have programmed iTunes could a three year old monkey do better. I have used iTunes version 4.xx 5.xx, 6.xx and now 7.xx and it has only been getting more and more like bloatware. (I use foobar2000 to play music on my PC) Next time I'm going to install Rockbox software on the iPod instead. It's still in beta, but it behaves like iTunes & Ipods should have, from the factory Completely agree on the iTunes thing.

We can't find a way to make Itunes separate the two. Every song she adds gets added to mine and vice versa. It's confusing the hay out of me! My daughter and I both got Ipods for Christmas.

Love the Pod, hate the Tunes. Among my frustrations: Songs seem to be fine, but any video is agonizingly slow to download. One 45-minute tv episode takes 7 to 8 hours to download on my broadband connection. Which is just stupid. I can download video from any other source MUCH faster. I can't buy songs from foreign iTunes stores. In particular, I want to buy something from the iTunes Australia store, but am not allowed to do so unless I have a credit card with a billing address in Australia. I used to - but now I live in the US. I e-mailed. I called and talked with Apple Support. No response, no solution. In order to access the iTunes store, I have to turn off my McAfee virus protection entirely - sometimes... Without any predictability I either have to turn off my firewall or turn the program off all together. Sometimes it works with both on though. Running diagnostics is useless. It will simultaneously tell me that I am connected AND tell me that I cannot connect to the iTunes store. While the program is ungainly when it comes to organizing and adding music and makes it nearly impossible to share music, it doesn't bother me nearly as much as the store - I hate the store and I hate iTunes. Still, I love my Pods. I just wish they made it easier to use the store. I can guarantee this - as soon as there is a rival out there, I'm going that way. I've wasted enough time on this dopey unintuitive system. Must agree with the assessment of iTunes. Love the Pod, hate the Tunes.
