Why is i-tunes

[Scampi]

So shit?

Been give an ipod touch. Didn't need a new mp3 player really ,but hey ho it's a gift and an improvement on my old creative. Trying to upload some music, but getting frustrated by i-tunes attempts to sync with my wifes i-phone apps and music. I-tunes keeps resetting to sync all apps, really expected better from apple.

You can edit sync options by clicking on the mini ipod that appears in the left bar and then either turning to manual sync or going along the tabs to applications and disabling application syncing.. IMO Itunes is immense, it is my music hub in my home and once you get used to it works a treat.

You could try CopyTrans, does the job well too, but to be honest, when you get used to iTunes, you'll be fine. It is a pretty sophisticated and powerful program

 

[Mellotron]

iTunes is by roughly a billion miles the best media player there is. Just takes about 15-20 seconds of getting used to, that's all.

I'm sure once you're used to it it's fine, but initially it's a bit shit, not particularly helpful.

 

[Scampi]

Oh and does the ipod touch have a radio?

Doesn'y that apply to most things, like driving, making mash potato and stuff? Kids today want everything straight away (apologies for assuming you are a kid if you're not)

Really? I found it a piston in the arse, winamp its far superior as is media monkey

Are you sure it's not YOU that is a bit shit?

No. But as all things Apple you can buy a small attachment that gives radio functionality. Or you can access various radio stations through apps via wi-fi

no, it's not.

Don't like to get involved in apple vs pc binfests but iTunes is rubbish. Am quite happy using my iPod (apart from the shitty hold button ) but iTunes is pants.

That was my first thought. I was thinking come on Scampi, you must be doing something wrong here, but no, it's just i-tunes isn't that intuitive. I've used applications that are much better for new users (and of course some that are worse).

I guess the thing is i was thinking, it's apple, their fans always go on about how good they are, they always go on about how good they are, this'll be easy. Well to be honest the experience so far is average.

Thats a shame, i'll need to keep my creative for the portable radio then.

It has wi-fi, so you can access internet radio. The newer ones (3rd Gen) also have an FM sender/receiver, so have the hardware to be a radio, but the software that runs the radio hasn't been released yet.

Fair enough.

I'm no slave to Apple - quite the opposite actually, but I do like itunes.

Make sure you have the latest version on your PC as this allows you to sync more than one device to the library.

As someone has said, make sure you tick the box that says you want to sync only selected playlists and it will be fine.

use winamp - it r00ls. can use ipods super easy peasy on anyones computer too.

apple suck.
