>I hear is that iTunes is horrible?

Well, perhaps "horrible" is strong, but I disklike it.

As a PC-savvy user I first found myself using iTunes on Boxing Day. I think the root of the problem is iTunes is a Mac application, ported to the PC. As a result, hard-core Windoze user will find a lot of what iTunes does to be counter-intutitive. For example, I put in an audio CD and an icon appears. As a PC user, my instinct is to right-click on that icon and be presented with some options (play, rip, explore, eject, buy (?) etc.) That doesn't happen in iTunes - I've got to click somewhere else.

Or, by default, iTunes starts re-arranging music on people's hard disks. I'm sure this feature is handy - But by default? It's *very* confusing and all day long my wife was saying "Where did my song go!?!!" I almost wish MS made an iPod compatible application that met their UI design rules. Of course then it would only run on a very powerful PC and would be highly bloated. Sigh
