Another reason to hate iTunes

By Mark | Published: 03:02 Friday 6 Aug 2010
Like I needed more… It’s 3am and pretty quiet. I realise that the external HD is noisy. Check that Spotlight hasn’t decided to index it (not allowed to) and realise it’s that damn iTunes again.

Copy one track from one album into one folder and have the computer see just that one track. It’s not much to ask and if that happens I am happy. What makes me unhappy is when iTunes is playing and I find a track playing twice even though I only own it once. I deleted [...]

Yet another iTunes gripe

By Mark | Published: 17:18 Monday 3 Mar 2008
I used iTunes to downloads podcasts. It was not allowed to touch anything else, just them. Before the upgrade to Leopard I copied the entire music folder to the ext hd.
