Darth Yoda - I hate iTunes
I bought both my daughters Ipod touches for Xmas. The day before yesterday was the first day I got music on one for them. In the process I seem to have lost about 300gig of music and even more has been converted to AAC format and deleted the original. After fighting this foul thing for about a week I finally manged to get it to work. The oldest is happy now. On to the second...........
I plug in the second, rename it ,and go thru the setup sequence. Easy enough, BUT even though I set it to be manually managed, it automatically loaded the WHOLE iPod. The next few minutes are spent sitting idlely while it syncs. Well now I can't pick all songs and delete I have to spend the next hour deleting the individual song separately. So today my task is to get the wanted music on the other iPod reload all my lost music from backup and keep my blood pressure low enough to maintain a healthy day.
FUCK IPOD AND ITUNES.
yup. Apple sux.
I have never owned an Ipod, Ipad, iphone, etc. All I did was watch all my friends and customers aggravations with them.
Lets just say if I was even given or won an ipod I would sell it quickly....
Digital music issues galore... didya know you have only some many RIPs to CD for purchased music? WOW.
If I paid for it I should be able to do whatever I want with it!
Reasons to say no to Apple?
#1 - OVERPRICED - I have a 4gb player thats WAY smaller than an ipod. And its about 1/10th the price. guess how often I change music on it? maybe 2x a year.. Ever see how much those accessories are for ipods? wow.
#2 DRM - I say Fuck You to any form of DRM I can. If I am going to give you money I better be able to do what I want with it. MP3 and AAC for me!
#3 - If you want a device that won't lock you out of innovation, skip the iPhone.
They want to monopolize everything so badly they with make the customer suffer for it.
Ever hear of Google voice? research it if not, you will be glad you did.
SORRY PING, you will not convince me otherwise.
