This really is a poor application isn't it, it's not just me surely that has severe problems with iTunes, even when running on my Mac's. I have spent today trying to sort out my iTunes Match music, trying to ensure it's all where it should be, duplicates removed, all uploaded etc. This has been going on for WEEKS and it seems to ALWAYS at some point crash or lose tracks that have been there for YEARS.

I got to the stage where all my duplicates were removed and all bar around 34 tracks were sitting in the cloud or associated with the cloud, happy days. Then I get the tell tale sign of a crash, fans running at Mach 10 and no response from any thing which basically means I had to reboot. I get back into iTunes and EVERY track is now showing an error.

It's not just this, whether it be updates to apps that seem to take an AGE to download and then minutes to complete once done, to iPhones/iPads that seem to go from rapid updates to HOURS, all of this leads me to conclude that this application is a crock of dog ****

I hear people moaning about the PC versions, but to me the Mac one is equally as bad and seems to be incredibly inconsistent and unreliable, most un Apple.

Annoyed of England.
 
It crashed about 2 hours ago and now 85% of all of my music is showing error in the iTunes Match status column, before the crash it was perfect. I ******* HATE iTunes, HATE IT!!!
 
I have all my music stored on my NAS so that can slow it down slightly, but reality is the application is written like a windows app.
 
Apple TV is a pain when you use a NAS for storage. Having and instance if iTunes running to get it to work is a pain an defeats the object of having a bloody NAS. I get the whole locked down OS and Apps approach but it's still a pain.
