I tunes- what is peoples beef with it? - Page 10

IMO it is most useful when you have many different types of media such as podcasts, movies, tv shows, audiobooks and of course music. It just collates all these things together and for a person who can't be bothered switching from application to application it is a godsend. Plus I appreciate the way in which it organises everything in the background - artist>album>song

I don't like the way it tries to be tooooo user friendly.

Does stuff on it's own.

It also uses a ton of system resources for such a simple program.

It lags everything on my computer when running... and my comp has no trouble running stuff like PS CS4.

I just got back into the ipod game from a long time away from it. itunes is better than I remember it to be but, it lags like hell on my pc. Thankfully I only use it to synch music to my new touch. If im just listening to music foobar is a much better.

My number one beef with it is that Apple doesn't offer an "All you can eat" subscription service.

It's too "user friendly" - I love having limitless options to tweak. And, when I used iTunes for a month as a trial, it truncated the ID3 tags in all of my music files to 8 characters. I didn't even notice until I had overwritten the backup and I had 8000+ tracks to fix.

Picard helped quite a bit but there was still a lot of time required to un-demolish my music collection. And although this happened a couple years ago, I still avoid Apple branded everything like the plague.

Neither memory or CPU usage seems all that bad over here.
While playing back an MP3 stream locally, and been up and running since yesterday.

God damn it it´s NOT USER FRIENDLY?

Am I doing something wrong or can´t you import talking books or ebooks or what it´s called in english? CD:s to an ipod mini directly from itunes?
