I feel your pain. I have had to deal with my wife's iCrap for years.  Got fed up and bought her a FiiO X5 with 256Gb memory via 2 MicroSDs. Had ripped 300 CDs over time for my music library (lossless) and dumped 4000 songs on the FiiO. Room for 10000 more. No more rotten Apple.

Hmm ... guess I must be in the minority or something because I don't really have a problem with iTunes or the Apple ecosystem. I'm a Windows developer myself but have integrated iPhones and iPads into my system and it all integrates and works fine. Perfect? No, there's a glitch here and there but, in general everything works fine.

Totally feel your pain.
I've never been that crazy about iTunes, but at one point in it's (d)evolution I could at least get it to work somewhat the way I liked it.
They keep screwing with the UI. Ugh!
And with the latest release, why it's enough to gag a dog off a gut wagon!!

OK, look, from the start I've liked the iPod. and I had an iPhone. But, never liked the whole "locked into the ecosystem" thing. So, had an iPod for my music, aw decent PC for my work, job done.
Recently, it really is like all pretense of being usable has left Apple. To the point where it's stupid. I just updated to the new version of iTunes. How do I load music onto my iPod? F*** knows. There's no option. Anywhere. I got a new iPod cos the old one died, I got a new iTunes, where the elephant is the old (already annoying) option? No. I have to go trawling through the Apple support fora. To find that I have to restart my computer and now I can see the songs but not download them onto my iPod. Despite the fact that I have already deauthorised all other devices. Upon my word, I say; these are dark days. Just, seriously. I might have to buy an mp3 player that isn't an iPod. 
Apple have lost their last reason to exist. At least under Jobs the fashionist-koolaid masses had some kind of grounding. I give it five years.

Reminds me of some Java code I flow-charted for a client a few years back so they could understand what their system was doing after a few years of patches, a handful of devs, and a bushel of requirement changes.

Damn, that's an awful cynical attitude y'all got going. I'm gonna go up vote it... just because.

Apparently, the title "Thought of the Day" is now trademarked. I'm afraid you're gonna be sued. Serves you right too. How dare you try to send a positive and decent message here.

All those years. All those points. You're finally getting the hang of this place!

With his money, because he has to give it to you.

If your mind's as filthy as mine, the word "head" was involved.

I hate it when my desktop icons get all whacked!  Usually when this happens, I also lose the left hand pane (quick access) in explorer. Maybe they've fixed this in the anniversary update??? I know, I know,...just restart and shut up!

There are apps for that.
Iconoid is the best, but certain instabilities in the "best ever" operatin system become worse when you use it, but DesktopOK (and several others on nonags[^]) haven't been broken by that best of all operating systems, yet.
