A couple of weeks ago, I wanted to get the Flyleaf EP and the 2nd album by Hyper Static Union. The only place you can get them is at iTunes. I hate that bands are just releasing tracks to them and not to multiple download sites.

When I downloaded the software, I also got this other program to help you transfer your songs out of iTunes so you could easily load them to your Zune. I hate the fact that you have to convert your files to be used on your own player when you buy them at iTunes.

Anyway, I thought the program I was using was full of spyware. So, I got rid of it. I then had a problem with the iTunes software and had to reinstall. Guess what? When I reinstalled iTunes, it uninstalled my CD burner. So, I uninstalled iTunes, restarted the computer, and Vista reloaded the burner. I tried the restart without getting rid of iTunes, and it would not reload my CD burner.

So, today I thought I'd try again and get the new digital only exclusive to iTunes release by High Flight Society. Guess, what? As soon as I installed the latest version of iTunes, my CD burner is gone AGAIN!. Plus, I have three of the 4 songs on that EP that I have bought, but they will not download. I don't know if I will be able to get them to resume!

iTunes is a sorry piece of extortionist crap. iTunes is a pimple on the butt of humanity. The only thing in this country that sucks more than the Obama administration is iTunes. Have I made myself abundantly clear?

Wow, I've not had any of these probs with iTunes yet... now you've got me all scared. I mainly use the program to rip albums that aren't rippable with REAL. My son is the one who has the iPod and buys and loads his iPod with stuff.... I better not get no spy or adware crap, or else I'll go postal (since we just bought a brand new PC that's a virgin to problems so far)

I have the Zune, and it will not recognize iTunes Mp4 encoding. To load music to the Zune, it has to be converted to MP3. I tried using Foobar, but it isn't working for that. I found a free program to do the converting for me that is Spyware free.

I usually rip stuff to MP3 with the Zune software. If a CD is not recognized by Zune, then I usually use Audiograbber. Some of the older releases I have that are mastered at much lower volumes go straight to Audiograbber for the normalization process. It boosts the overall frequency volumes and makes the tunes louder. Foobar will do that too, but not if you have to change any of the song titles that it changes when you load songs. While Topshot loves Foobar, I have found it to be more of a hassle.

I'm going to try to restart the computer AGAIN and see if I can get my CD-RW drive to reload without uninstalling iTunes. I hope I can.

It's causing me a lot of problems too.
Every time I have problems with music, my favorite music.
Let me first try to get my favorite music on my "Shuffle" before I try to download music from iTunes.

My son had an iPod. The way iTunes probed his computer made me think of someone being violated. Needless to say I avoid everything iTunes like the plague.

Let me make it simple. The retards who use iTunes/iPod/iPhone are iDiots.

itunes is really awful on windows sys. works fine on macs though.

works fine on my comp though (now I bet it will crash), I have a program I use to convert to mp3 once I get the the downloads to use on my mp3 player.

I absolutely hate I-tunes.

My daughter has an ipod (she got from her grandmother for christmas). She usually has to get me to help her load/delete songs from her ipod, and half the time it won't do anything unless I provided credit card information (biggest load of cr#p I have ever heard, not going to give anyone my credit card so I can load a song from a disc I own to an mp3 player).

I am glad that I don't have an iPod. I only use iTunes because some artists insist on releasing their content exclusively through them.

I have an iPod.
And that iPod is hungry.

My Zune is hungry constantly. It is telling me to add more Barren Cross and Sacred Warrior.

Yes, my Zune talks to me. We are friends.

I have an IPod, but I have never let ITunes near my computer. I use an alternative program that only loads and removes songs from the IPod. Works great.

My neice got an $pod for Christmas, you know, one of those $300 things about the size of a grain of salt.....
She enjoyed it for a couple weeks, then turned her back on it for one iMinute at highschool, now some iTheif is enjoying her ipod. She was/is devastated. Poor thing. She was warned not to take it to iSchool - in one iEar and out the other.

What is the program, if you don't mind me asking?

It's called Poddox, and I got it as a free down-load. But I'm not sure it would help you as it is a iPod interface program.
Check it out if you want.
