   I just don't understand why everyone has to have an Apple product. These devices are restrictive and unfair.

   Can't stand it. Too invasive, and it's just insane organizing own music files in that way.

   This is like the Gestapo and the most evil of all media players in the world.
   It is a piece of irritating crap software that belongs in the garbage.
   Avoid it at all costs. unless of course your are stuck using this horrible software because you have vacuum between your ears and bought an over-hyped and over-priced Apple iPod.
   My condolences to all you naive Apple customers.

   Hi,

   Reviewing 10.0.1.22 (Oct 8, 2010)

   As a music player, iTunes isn't all that bad. Could be better, but it's not that bad.
   
   However, what iTunes *is* bad at is exactly what it's supposed to be good at: library management. We're at version 10 now in the year 2010, and iTunes STILL cannot reliably update folders added to your library.
   
   You add some songs to a folder that you've already added to iTunes? Too bad, you have to scan EVERYTHING in the entire folder again to get them to show up.
   
   You want to remove a folder that you added to the library by accident? Too bad, you have to delete your entire iTunes library's index file(s) and scan EVERYTHING in again just to get rid of that one (sub)folder.
   
   There are some 3rd-party tools and scripts that attempt to address this that may or may not work on your platform of choice and may or may not cause lasting damage that may or may not be detected until it's too late to reverse, but let's be frank about it: this is unadulterated crap. There's no other word I can use to describe this other than "disgrace". There's no excuse for it. When Windows Media Player has topped you in library management, you know you've really, really hit rock bottom.
   
   iTunes exists to steer you into buying from the store. Everything is geared towards this, not to being a good music player or library management tool. It seems like they deliberately cripple and sabotage their own software when it comes to library management to make purchasing from the store more attractive by comparison. They don't want you listening to stuff you've already bought or that you get somewhere else, they just want you to keep buying from the iTunes Store.
   
   Predictable, but unacceptable when there are so many alternatives that don't treat customers and users like the suckers Apple clearly wants them to be.
