  1. the browser mode on iTunes is pretty good ... but is it easy to lose and hard to find again ... iTunes has always sucked. Before I had Apple stuff I had some other cool audio-video box that let you listen to the radio too. AND record from the radio. So if tyou were somewhere listening to something and did not know what it as, you could record it to the internal disk. Also ... it did not try to tell you what to put and not put on your device ... I wish I could think of what the company was ... and I wish they were still around.

  2. Bhy the way this was all happening when Steve Jobs was there. Steve was not so brilliant as everyone like to think. The main funny thing is that any company tends to have middle manage chaos and Steve Jobs was a dictator, and even a half-assed dictator could still beat out a bunch of managers bickering with each other and trying to block anything that anyone else wants from them, and ignore suggestions from customers. it is the same thing on Apple communities ... if you do not kiss the asses of the "geniuses" there they will not answer your questions ... which is Ok because most of the time the people there have no idea what the answer is anyway, but they will never say. They will run newbies around in circles having them do all kinds of unncessary stuff, because they don't know any better. Apple is dysfunctional ... the same thing happened to all American computer companies. They do not want simple, because then you can do stuff without them, without paying them. I bought my iMac almsot for fun just to see what Apple was like back around 2007, and it was the first machine I had ever had that actually boosted my productivity where I could do what I want, when I wanted. Now I have to continually fight my own machines and Apple. And there is not much alternative ... it is a monopoly with M$ ... ain't capitalism great?

  3. This is because every manager in Silicon Valley does not know what their products do, but they all feel they need to make big changes to things, and think that even if they do not use the application they can decide what is good for people ... and they get more money than ever for that.

  4. The single-threadedness of iTunes I hate ... it is the main reason I go everything from Amazon now. AND ... it is not a great alternative, but for Media and stuff I like the Amazon Fire, and it is much less expensive and you can stick external memory it in too. Amazon knows how to treat customers ... Apple knows how to torture customers ... and extort them while they are doing it.
