Right, someone explain...

[Jason_E]

... how the f**k iTunes came from the same company that made such great things such as the iPhone, Macbook, OSX etc.

Nobody has a good word to say about it, ever. It's always being a dick.

E.G tonight, I have an MP3 file. I drag it into iTunes and it add's it. Top banana! I have another MP3 file, try the same thing. It does nothing. Look in my library, it's not there. Okay, I click File > Add to Library. The browse box pops open, i select the file and click "Choose".

The box disappears, but doesn't add the file. Typical iTunes.

Another thing that my iTunes does, I'll put a CD in and add to my library, or drag and drop an album that's a bunch of MP3's on my drive. It'll add it alright, but it'll add every track at least 3 times.

Again, typical.

If you have a double figure IQ, it's fine.

iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Untick "copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library"

 

[Jason_E]

Okay then, how do I add this MP3 file to iTunes?

Don't steal True story off me.

iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Untick "copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library"

Tried this, it still feels the need to add everything a random amount of times. I think the most is 6 copies of each track. Then again it doesn't always do it now since the last update.

 

[Matt W]

I find it perfect.

 

[Pedro]

I know how to work iTunes but for some reason i took a disliking to it....

 

[Jason_E]

Yep, I'm better than most with it. I have an anal obsession with making sure every album has it's artwork and is organised correctly. And when it works yes, it's pretty good and syncing makes things too easy.

It's just when it f**ks up it does my nut in! It's not being stupid, it's software f**king up. Revels has his willy too deep in Steve Jobs to realise this iirc?

 

[Justin]

I like iTunes!

 

[Ben]

I've never had an issue with iTunes apart from it crashing every so often but I really do like it.

 

[Jason_E]

See there's my point, when it works it is good.

True story.

 

[Christopher]

iTunes is superb.

 

[Dave.]

Agree can be a PITA

True story....

 

[Jason_E]

None of these are helping me get an obscure dubstep track on my iTunes.

flol, scarily close to what I thought, mine was if your IQ is bigger than your shoesize - pushing it for a lot of CS I know

 

[Jason_E]

My shoe size is 11.

Touch me.

[iain187]

i try to use it as little as possible so i wont notice when there are problems.

 

[eugegall]

iTunes is total

FACT

 

[m4rkie23]

lol. filterowned

 

[Chesh]

Why is it??

Its a music player
It plays music
Mine has never locked up, the songs are exactly where I want them the perfect number of times and it adds the music I want, when I tell it to.

 

[sn00p]

Apple didn't actually write the original iTunes, they purchased another company and rebranded Soundjam MP.....

I've never had a problem with iTunes although for whatever reason it seems to lead even the most logical thinking people to confusion.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

I still chuckle at the people who struggle with iTunes.

 

[Jason_E]

I don't struggle with it. It's going wrong, FACT.

 

[cava83]

I struggle, I quite dislike iTunes for music and videos.

For backing up the iPhone I think it's superb.

I have a high IQ, fact.

Off topic, nice avatar pic, like the apple logo.

I think it's quite funny that the people who say is iTunes is perfect, superb, etc. haven't got a clue how to help you with your problem.

No, we need a real genius to help out someone that appears to barely be able to cut his own food, maybe you'll be his knight in shining armour?

 

[Gaz.]

I used to just let it get on with doing WTF it liked and it fucked me off when it didn't do what I thought it should.

Start reading up on how things work and it all falls into place and suddenly it's nowhere near as bad. Ping and Genius can f**k off though, I've no use for them.

 

[Greeny.]

Im hardly a PC noob as I work on and with them all day every day and my opinion is that itunes is s**te, I only use it coz I have to.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

I think you're adding the playlist file as well as the original mp3 files, hence you're ending up with duplicates.

If I have a single song I want to add, I just drag/drop into 'Music' on the LHS of iTunes. It copies, et voila, it's in the library. Never seen the point of the file>import>add>blah>blah

No idea why people have issues with it. It's simples, like meercat.

 

[jam.]

The day I become the world's richest man, I'm going to buy Microsoft and rename it Orange, and make it even more obviously s**t. The phone company can go to hell.


Oh yeah, iTunes - its always been perfect for me with my huge(ish) library and podcasts, and films etc - never had any problems at all. I am one of the ubercool mac gang though, so I'm going to say that.

What?

F**k off and lol.

 

[Keydogg]

If iTunes could be hotlinked to a folder and there was an equaliser when playing music with the ability for installing add ons i would be a much happier person. Since it can't (that I know of), it's s**t.

 

[Mwindow]

I find it perfect.

Likewise....

This to be honest and I'm definately not one of the ubercool Mac gang, in fact I hate the damn things, but iTunes performs flawlessly as far as I'm concerned.

 

[chris_182]

It works fine bar the odd little annoyance

e.g. Put CD in > copy to iTunes > download album cover > hmm nothing happens > switch to different album view > download album cover > works fine
e.g Do you want to consolidate tracks > "yes" > hmm still shows as 3 x same albums > switch to different view > consolidate > shows as one album

That's what I've been doing. Do you take me for a complete moron?

Don't answer that.

 

[Mitchell]

Where did you get the mp3 file from? Could be a corrupt/incomplete/crappy mp3 file which iTunes doesn't like? This seems to be the only thing that has stopped music going into my iTunes before

 

[Truffs]

Love I Tunes but then again i love all things apple

 

[Keydogg]

No one care to help me? Oh wait, iTunes can't do this, therefore it's w**k!

 

[Adam]

Used iTunes for years, never had an issue!
