iTunes on Windows

[prev] [thread] [next] [lurker] [Date index for 2006/10/03]

I have no idea whether these are Windows specific iTunes hate or whether 
they span the platforms but I only have experience with iTunes on 
Windows so I'll restrict it to that. Feel free to chip in and complain 
about the Mac version later.

I'm not entirely sure why people rave about iTunes - I suspect it'shte 
iPod and ITMS integration but people raved about it before then. Maybe 
they were blinded by the shiny metal. Either way, I have no iPod 
(HERECY!) nor the inclination to by DRM encrusted tat from iTMS so I 
miss out on those benefits. Ooh - I can organise my podCasts . Which 
would be great. If I listened to any.

Aren't we supposed to call them soundBlogs or something now anyway?

However, the single biggest hate I have so far is why the auto complete
in the ID3 field editor. Here's how to replicate the hate ...

1) Obtain mp3 from somewhere
2) Realise that ID3 tag, whilst technically correct, is lowercased
3) Try and edit that
4) Have iTunes know better than you do and autocomplete the field back 
   to the lowercase version
5) Try again
6) Have same experience
7) Scream. Curse. Rant.
8) Edit the field to say "Foo"
9) Rename it back to Properly Capsed Version of Name
10) Repeat with other MP3s
11) See 7
