So take my comments to the other extreme? Why can nobody see any middle ground?? The pushback experienced for wanting quality, well-written, doesn't-need-to-be

  I think thats mostly an illusion, and the costs for that "last mile" of quality is huge. Think of it this way, if the software works for 99.9% of people, that's still 800k people that can experience undesired behavior. You hear "everyone has this problem!" but in aggregate, its not. Yet 800k is still a lot of people! Yet its 0.1% of iOS devices sold! In short, what you are asking for is easy to say with words, but in reality its pretty hard to do, even if you have "more money than a nation" or whatever comparison people are using.

  You're not wrong, definitely. It's just that criticizing iTunes feels like picking on the mentally-challenged. As rarepostinlurkr points out, even the "best of best" practices can't really guarantee bug-free software. And Apple is very far down indeed on any list of respected software development institutions. The only rational approach to iTunes is to assume it will either delete your music or otherwise render it unindexable, and prepare accordingly.
