I got myself a Touch earlier this year and it is great but I really, really detest iTunes. I had it installed for a while a few years ago just to try it out but hated the way it took over my computer and I soon got rid of it. I hoped that things would have improved in the meantime. Unfortunately not. For some reason it decided to delete some of my apps while I loaded some music onto the Touch, even though I had instructed it - as far as I could tell - not to synchronise apps. Transferring the music took absolutely ages too.
I have since discovered foobar2000 and the foo_dop plugin so I can get music onto the the device without iTunes' intervention. And apps I just download directly on to the device. I still have iTunes installed but I installed it under a new user account in XP that I created just for the purpose of using iTunes. It doesn't isolate it 100% but it helps. Unfortunately, I want to upgrade to iOS4 so that I can install the Squeezebox client (I forget what it is called - I don't mean iPeng but the one for playing music streamed from your server) so that means risking iTunes again! -- Zoltan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zoltan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9998 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83034 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
