I have never seen any software turn adults into a pile of tears faster that iTunes. Trying to put music on your iPhone the night before a trip is the most god damn frustrating thing in modern software. It literally can't be done. If all you want to do is copy a few songs to your iPhone you can't fucking do it. It tries to sync your phone. Then says "warning: this will delete everything". What the fucking fuck motherfucker. I just want to copy a dozen god damn mp3 files into a file system. It's not hard! Syncing is a broken concept. There's no such thing as syncing. There's no such thing as being in sync. No PC, Mac, or iOS device of mine can ever be fully sunk. (sync'd?) The totality of "my stuff" is a venn diagram. Things on my iPhone. Things on my iPad. Things on my Macbook. I have save data shared across devices. But also save data unique to each device. I own 100Gb of music. Most of it is on my Macbook. Some of it is on my iPhone. None of it is on my iPad. I even own music downloaded to none of these devices. Those purchases exist only in the cloud. Plus god knows how many apps I've bought and since deleted. There is no such thing as syncing. No device can ever be fully sync'd. Fully up to date. The whole idea of syncing is fundamentally broken and wrong. Fuck iTunes. No iPhone of mine will ever know iTunes ever exists. I now use Spotify. I download music to my phone for trips. My phone will never be connected to any Mac or PC. If you must copy music don't use iTunes. Once upon a time I used Copytrans. It's free and gets the job done. http://www.copytrans.net/copytransmanager/ http://www.copytrans.net/copytransmanager/ (This rant brought to through the sobbing tears of my partner. Thanks iTunes. You worthless piece of shit.)
