The Top Ten Reasons iTunes Sucks
Comments

Yep, it sucks. The only thing that really bugs me though is that it's so stupid at file management. Even "consolidate" doesn't work reliably. How hard can it be? Apple has aped MS' attitude: "you're too stupid to locate your own files, so we'll do it for you."

RIGHT!!!!!!! Sounds like the same problem we R having, if ITUNES doesnt work w/ anything other than a MAC Y not tell people that B4 they spend $$$$$ on their product.... Have U got anywhere w/ them or had any success.....

Not to mention, they force you to install QTime, which takes over all multimedia extensions (video/music). Then again, same is true with pretty much every other piece of software today. There's no longer a respect for people's personal computers (and I don't mean "PC's", per se, so don't start another PC vs MAC discussion here). Every developer's goal today seems to be to take control of your computer (or device) and use it as an up selling platform. On the other hand, they assume everyone out there is an idiot, incapable of creating a shortcut or associating a file extension by themselves. They bloat their apps so much, that the end-use experience shoots in the complete opposite direction the intend.

It doesn't suck, but there is better out there.

yep itunes sucks , i agree with that can't Drag and Drop and it is very slow ......

iTunes reminds me of the old Cobal programming days --- where everything is big and bloated. It is a dog (especially on the win platform). Got a really really old iMac, it's not even supposed to work on it. But is is faster on that iMac than my new fast XP with 100X memory and processing speed. Hmmmm. That's Apples REAL plan. Force their platform..

"Simple is better". Why a simple file manager between to computers (that is really all we need) can evolve into iTunes, is one of the worlds biggest mysteries. I hate using this product, as it totally lacks transparency, and moving a file or connecting a device sometimes sets off a totally unpredictable chain reaction.

WTF iTunes doesn't suck and all that crap that they said about it is a bunch of made up shit

i live in Hong Kong and although we have the appstore, we cant get itunes here and the stupid fxxxxxx icon on my iphone is totally useless. (which i guess i should be thankful for really.)

itunes f*ckin sucks period, lots of work needs to be done to this shitty program

this is by far the WORST list ever. wth are they talking about? the only valid points he makes is that its a memory hog and it can be slow at times.

itunes is a resource killer!!!!

i'm completely agree except point 7 and 9, drag & drop? come on.. it's lot easier.. ipod as transport?? well, it is an apple policy at the first place : NO PIRACY.. so, you don't agree with iPhone Bluetooth w/o OBEX Push? well,, it is your choice.. choose it or leave it..

@Segismundo, if you read the article they do suggest checking out Songbird or Amarok as iTunes alternatives

Tell us something different, like a real alternative. No more stupit thinkings without value please

How does drag and drop suck? I use it for music all the time, A lot easier than importing them 1 by 1
