iTunes: It's utter **** isn't it?

It works both ways. Have you see MS Office on the Mac? :)

What's wrong with it? With the exception of being slightly slower when it comes to heavy Excel sheets, 2011 is excellent. Lest of course you dislike the ribbon (personally, I love it).


Also, I hate iTunes and am on a Mac to the above. I've gone to the extent of WineBottling foobar in order to get a decent media player on OS X.
 
It would be great of they went back to previous versions of iTunes such as 9.0 less cluttered and far easier.
 
I just get confused with the whole thing.

I love the app store but it seems to record every app you download.

Wifi sync simply doesn't work for me on my ipod.

Have so many settings to adjust for it not to read my son's ipod when my wife logs in to the same pc, if he does it accidently he finds his ipod wiped.


If she's logged into intunes I have to login as her close the program then relog back in as me. Good job she's not take up my suggestion of passwording her login yet.

If I download a podcast to my ipod listen and delete the itunes will put a new unlistened version back on my ipod. For some reason itunes can't record what you have downloaded before via your account :(

It never seems to update the podcasts I have subscribed to or it only updates them after I have synced my ipod, I have to check this every time which can be a pain.

Back ups go directly to my C flash drive (64 gig) which has no room and it does this for every single device you need backed up, no choice on this! :(

itunes shows one album cover for an album, transfer it to my ipod and hey presto 25 individual album songs :D.

It has somethings great though. You can actually buy music and movies on it and they work very well for transfer to ipod, it's easy to fool into pretending you live in the states. ;) Unlike google play which only has apps.

iTunes has crashed a few times for me over the past couple of years, but I don't dislike it - I think the software (when it doesn't crash) is great.
 
Can't say I've experienced many crashes over the years, the annoyance for me is the fact certain info isn't saved in the file but in the iTunes database as I found out a few years ago after spending umpteen hours sorting out my music... was not a happy bunny. Now I manually organise my music and use MP3 Tag to ensure everything is correct then I import to iTunes just to play.

I think the interface is fine, and it handles collections really well, I've really struggled with Winamp to get multi-artist albums to display album art correctly, esp. once it's been kicked over to my Galaxy S2.
 
Why can't they just let you drag and drop music files. The amount of times my phone has been wiped because of iTunes annoys me soooo much.

It aint slightly slower by a long shot :p

I run Office 2010 in VMWare and it runs macros 10 times quicker and scrolls in large tables much much MUCH quicker. [3.46GHz 6-core, 16GB RAM, 6870 Mac Pro]

I personally hate Excel 2011, I only ever use it for small tables, otherwise I boot up VMWare.
 
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.
 
I find it fine for my needs. Only issue is I get AppleMobileDevices running in the background using lots of processing power for no reason. Known glitch apparently. Apart from that, it's fine for my needs.

The only feature I want is the ability to raise the sound check "max volume".
