Okay, so specifically I think iTunes for Windows is a pile of shit. Not only does it look like the offspring of something that Apple's skinning division shitted out, it also fucks up everything to do with your music. Windows Media Player does do this, but you can fix it. With iTunes, it constantly fucks up retarded things like album art for no apparent reason, then decides that you would prefer it if it made the artwork for some albums black. Well done Apple.
iTunes does not equal the sleek, awesome design of any iPod, and i'm going to reiterate my point about it looking like shit. I get it, Apple want to keep their Mac look, so decide to make a Windows app mimic the look of an Apple app, and make it hideously slow at doing everything. Well, not everything- I guess the only thing I can't fault it on is sync speeds. The rest of the abomination that is iTunes though is Clunky, fucked, and shit - much like the Windows version of Safari. Why would you use it, especially when you have apps like Google Chrome - even fucking Internet Explorer that boast the same functionality and look considerably better.
In my expletive-ridden opinion, Apple should develop Windows apps that look like Windows apps, and acknowledge that it would look a damn site better. Windows users don't want fucking Mac OS themed apps - much like Mac users don't want Windows themed apps.
Windows Media Player or iTunes. Hmm, put in the context of a Windows desktop, that is a hard one. But wait - it doesn't matter, because I only use iTunes to sync my iPod.
Totally agree. Worst performing app I've ever seen on a PC with a completely unfathomable interface. How the hell do you actually *force* it to accept a piece of album artwork?
Select the album, right click, Get Info, double click the artwork box and select an image from your hard drive to use. Seems to work and embeds it into the file's metadata too.
I do that for each album I get - stops iTunes fucking it up and my iPod from messing with it!
And why the fuck is such a pain in the arse when it comes to running the fucking thing???? It's had this problem with that bastard "Bonjour" service for fucking ages except those Java drinking hippies at apple still haven't got their fucking arse in gear to fix it.
Not to mention I only have to leave my laptop to take a piss and there's yet ANOTHER fucking update when I get back - and again, its the size of a fucking house! Yes, a fucking house.
What a heap of shit.
iTunes on Windows is fucking shit, which everyone knows is the worst type of shit there is.
yes.. piece of crap obliged to use that junk because of iPad which I love... just frustration that make me say that because library management sucks, no m3u common... I used the same s*** and f*** words loud when trying to use that junk.
Amarok still rocks for me
Agreed, biggest pile of fucking shite ever.
The fact that if your pc/laptop goes tits up they will not allow you to re-download something you've spent your hard earned cash for is a fucking disgrace. If i wanted to back music up on to cd's I would have gone and bought the fucking cd in the 1st place you stupid cunts! And fucking cheaper too you sackless twats!
What a stupid money grabbing bunch of fucking wankers Apple are!
I really never swear like this but fuck me?
No kidding. Itunes is fucking garbage on Windows. Half the time I can't even get it to open and I'm tired of the constant updates that don't seem to do shit to make it run any better. I fucking loathe Apple but had to bow to the ipod since it's the only reasonable way to legally get music anymore. Thanks a fucking lot Apple for monopolizing this market and raping our wallets you motherfuckers.
iTunes sucks totally!!!!!
Well, since fuck, we can't talk fuck without using fucking fuck then I will fuck write some fuck fucking fuck thing just to write fuck a awesome fuck load of fucking time. And I don't fuck wanna see my fucking writing be fucking deleted because I have a fucking opinion about the fucking thing ok and I'm so fucking pist of about fuck it ok dude.... I love my fucking opinion and I fucking repect it ok? Fuck!
Well, I can only agree with the fact that I don't like itune to look like an Apple apps. I am a Win7 user and never be and probably never will be a Mac user. Besides, the only reason I use iTune is to buy music (which you can download a certain number of time!) and to sync my Ipod.
Everything else I use well programed software like MP3 Gain to normalize songs, iTunes Library Updater to actually create and maintain my iTune library (I don't let iTune manage its own library cause it messes it all up!), MP3 Tag to create and manage ID3 Tags and MPEG Audio Collector to maintain my complete MP3 Library (awesome tool when you have over 100 mp3 dvds!). Finally, I am a winamp addict and it is the only one mp3 player I ever used, oh, I tried Windows Media Player but if you think iTune is a piece of junk it's in the garbabe bin just on top of Windows Media Player.
Last thing, if you ever need an WMA/MP3 Converter, give a try to Free Mp3 Wma Converter from koyotesoft, great tool.
Regards
I agree, never been a fan, but iTunes a pile of shit. Just Steve jobs has money to pump in and d*** heads going around like a headless chickens telling everyine how cool the iTunes is! hey, look at your own heads, you iFreaks!
BRAND NEW IPOD NANO, 11 MONTHS OLD, HARDRIVE RECENTLY WIPED FOR VIRUSES AND NOW I CANNOT GET MY MUSIC AND IT WILL NOT CONNECT! TRYED CONTACTING APPLE AND IT DOESN'T HAVE THE FUCKING OPTION TO SEND FEEDBACK, HERES SOME FEEDBACK YOU BASTARDS! "YOU ARE SHIT AT HELPING THE PUBLIC AND YOU EAT OUR HARD EARNED MONEY SHIT IT OUT AND WATCH IT GO OFF TO KOREA OR SOME COMUNIST SHIT COUNTRY!" BURN APPLE TO THE GROUND! >:( BURN IN HELL!
Shittest program ever made, in my opinion
they could learn a thing or two from spotify
if i could find a way to sync the iphone (which is pretty ok) without the itunes fucking crap it insists on using i would. I tunes is the fucking worst for taking over your stuff and providing no option to change it. example.. emails.. out of he blue it synced my emails and contact list when i first plugged it in and i have no fucking what so ever how to undo that or where the fuck it grabbed that shit from or prevent it doing so ever again.
ITUNES = arsehole software designers. fuck moving over to a mac if thats whats its like. "I CAN THINK FOR MYSELF THANK YOU, PIECE OF ITUNES SHIT."
agreed with all the stuff below and above
itunes is crap! I know some geeks out there will defend it to the death, but it really sucks! I just want to listen to some music thats all. It constantly looses, duplicates or shuffles tracks.I know you can probably sort these issues by setting preferences etc, but i don't want to sit for hours reading forums 'programming' the software to simply put some tracks on an ipod.They should be ashamed of themselves!!!
iTunes for Windows is a pile of fucking shit! It crashes constantly while I'm cleaning up the 6 copies of each song in it's stupid fucking library. The only reason I use this piece of shit is because I have an iPod which is unfortunately the most popular way to get legal music. I can't even count the number of hours I've wasted trying to organize and undo the shit that iTunes does. Fuck Apple!
Gimme back my vinyl...
I got to this site by typing 'iTunes is shit' into Google... It seems I am far from alone when it comes to this opinion. I have near on 20 days worth of music (ie, A LOT of filtering IF I were to do it myself) - I know what music I have... I like the music I have... (it's why I have it!) - iTunes however, seems to have other ideas!
But maybe it's me!... Maybe it's quite normal to get to the end of a MoS Chillout track and then randomly jump to track 7 of a Hard House mix...
Wankers!
I too arrived at this article by searching for 'iTunes is shit' purely because I was so frustrated and just thought someone else must have thought the same!
Also, this article is very interesting: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/...
Showing that Apple may be in trouble as iTunes is actually their core technology and, as the article states, with it "Apple is rotten to the core"!
War of The Worlds... Great album.
And iPOOns thinks it's 9 albums. I'll never buy anything Apple again and I almost look forward to the day this iPood packs in. Overpriced, over rated turd. £150 and not a charger in site.
These turd are in danger of making Bill Gates look like Father - blooming - Christmas!
iTunes is constantly pissing me off! Who are the idiots who designed this garbage?
WOW JUST WOW HOW ANNOYINGLY BAD THIS PIECE OF CRAP IS..... I feel like walking into the apple store and smashing the place up.
Hmh, i try to buy something because ive bought it before (Im having to buy it because they cocked up the first time) , and it trys to charge me, so i cancel it, and the peice of shit called itunes wont let me do anything unless i give them the fucking money AGAIN - Itunes , you bunch of greedy cunts, SORT THIS OUT.
leave them feed back i did, i have no problem telling apple to go fuck themselfs, i will never buy anothe apple product EVER apple with itunes is taking our money and apple are laughing at us all the way to the bank.
Don't feel victimised 'cos you're running iTunes on Windows - it's completely fucking hopeless on Mac too. Unfortunately I recently won a $15 iTunes gift card (what the hell's wrong with CASH?). So I need to try to use this godforsaken pile of shit software to redeem it. Constant fucking broken links and "there was a problen processing your request. Try again later" and other such useless wanky Appleshit. iTunes is just plain crap, however you use it.
I like my Mac but I have to agree that Itunes is now taking the fucking piss, burn new cd and stupid shit tells me it can't find album information, for Led Zep, KoL, Police etc, etc. Really fucking me off now, I can see the fucking information in front of me but somehow the hundreds of developer twats who made Itunes can't, why? cos your vision is blurred from the jizz dripping from the idicks on your heads. icunt itw at idick iprick, this is therapeutic! itosser iball sack... ...
I've always thought that iTunes is total shit, and this was confirmed again after installing iTunes 10 (cause I have to bloody use iTunes, not because I want to). After this joyous upgrade, everything is fuct. Can't connect to my phone reliably, can't sync, can't backup, can't tether... FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK!!
Just been supplied with an iPhone 4 by work so naturally all i want to do is utilise the inbuilt iPod. Unfortunately the only way to do this is by using iTunes which insists on converting all my music and completely fucking up my libraries, losing artwork, replicating songs and generally pissing me off! Can not believe the entire world has fallen for Apple's bullshit and bought these pieces of dogshit just because they look pretty!
Ok.. here it is.. WHAT A FUCKING MINDBENDINGLY STUPID AND FRUSTRATING DYSFUNCTIONAL STUPID MEMEBR OF A 'FAMILY' THAT IS ONLY KEPT ALIVE BECAUSE IT IS A BLOOD RELATIVE! PUT IT OUT OF ITS MISERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THE REST OF US! IT IS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO APPLE AND IT IS ONLY PSEUDO WANNABES (THAT THINK APPLE AND EVERYTHING IT DOES IS COOL), BELIEVE THAT ITUNES WORKS! FOR GODS SAKE HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP! AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I feel better now.. thanks for letting me share .. I have a iPhone 3gs that has treated me very well.. i bought a new dell xps 1645 (iCore 7 and 6gb ram) and itunes (I love that the spellchecker in iphone always tries to correct your spelling of itunes or iphone hehehe - IGNORE thank you very much) still acts like a rusty fucking sink full of pig shit! calming down... Anyway, tried to sync with all new music on itunes to phone via creation of several playlists.. easy eh? not with the the rusty sink filled with pig shit it isn't!!!! why oh why do they insist on using an unintuitive GUI! JOBS - you will never get people to follow your philosophy! HTC Android for me next I'm afraid.. I will miss my iphone but hey I love my music too..
wont up load music to iphone. wont load pictures to iphone theyll take your money then up yours. apple...aload of money grabbing bastards. american useless twats. the only good yank is a dead one
Itunes is a complete peace of shit - end of
I have just installed itunes to set up my daughters new ipod touch. It duplicated all my lovely wma lossless files with crap mp3's on my main pc. I had to spend hours going through and deleting them. What a piece of rubbish it is. Bad user interface, old technology (like their hardware), drag and drop sometimes works sometimes doesn't. I had to read the help file to find out how to add photo's to her ipod and basically ended up creating a copy of all my photos that I wanted to put on the device because apple have no idea how to design software to let me select individual photos! This software is beyond poor, anything which so completely fucks up peoples music libraries and does so well at NOT providing the services it is supposed to provide, should be returned to the authors for a refund.
I guess they don't have any brains at all, just greed.
Android is so so much better!
ok itunes not responding, blocked on wanting to update. updating has been going on for 30 minutes now, i am so annoyed. wanted to get some music on ipod for travel.
jesus what a pain in the arse it is
Agreed.
Its a fukin pile of shit I hate it.
ITUNES IS WANK ITUNES IS WANK ITUNES IS WANK ITUNES IS WANK ITUNES IS WANK ITUNES IS WANK ITUNES IS WANK ITUNES IS WANK ITUNES IS WANK ITUNES IS WANK
i have never used such shit in my life why can`t them thick twats at itunes come up with something a bit more like wmp
As Hit Girl would say, the iTunes developers are a bunch of cunts. I used to think Microsoft we're arse sucking shit mongers for bleeding us all dry with their giant monopoly, but at least you could fix their software. iTunes just keeps getting worse! It'll go the way of all such poo. Down the toilet of history along with Vista, Friends Reunited and the Apple Newton.
I am so glad reading all of the above iTunes is SHIT (x 1000000000) every feckin time you open it just about it 'updates' and it's still SHIT! but that's another 15 to 30 minutes of your life gone. I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate itI hate it I hate itI hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it and as for iphones.....useless pieces of shit!!!! why call it a phone when you can't make a simple ffffffff(sorry nearly said it) phonecall! Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit. How come people that make such good computers allow such SHIT software!!!???
Itunes = bulky, slow, broken, turd.
one word for people on this forum..... MediaMonkey it might not look nice but it gives you back control, something which Jobs has been wrestling from the rest of the world for some time now. Time to fight back.
I'm determined to add my thoughtful, wise words here without resorting to sweary vocab. No, can't fo it. This is shite. iTunes is as shite a user experience as anything I've played with, and that's a pretty broad range of software. Shite, shite, fucking shite. Shitey shitey shite shite.
Doesn't solve my problem, though - do I cancel the current, quite unnecessary, sync, or let it be in the hope that it will end befoe I die?
Hey All, f'in love this thread, this is proper pony software, I rip (sorry 'Import') a CD and iPrune goes off and finds album data from some naff service that names all the albums in a way that it wont recognise so it cant find album artwork. So I manually look it up on iPony Store, amend the data and it splits the album in two, once I wrestle it back into one album and manually add all the correct data, iPrat still wont recognise the album and I have to find album artwork elsewhere anyway and add it to my iShite album.
I couldnt care less how it looks, please Apple just try making it work....
What a pile of slow operating, awkward to use fucking crap..The worst program i've ever used and the worst thing is that i have no FUCKING choice... I love my ipod but i fucking hate itunes and don't even bother to try and burn a disc of an album you bought from itunes... fail..fail..fail.. how many disc's did it fuck up.. it's shit.. cant all those overpaid fucktards make something simpler for it's millions of paying users instead of this pile of crap.
Itunes is a fucing piece of cunt.
it has given me aids
Aha, and uh-huh. I just spent all fucking day downgrading fucking iTunes 10 to 8 (the earliest I could find to download). The fucking fuckers at fucking Apple are apparently making it policy to prevent downloads of earlier versions because people (thats, uh, us) are realising that every fucking upgrade just makes everything worse. I'd have downloaded to 7 if I could have found it. Or 3. Anything but fucking 10.
The thing is, nobody at fucking Apple cares that their core users (me since mid-seventies) are getting increasingly pissed off at their stupid fucking arrogance and shit products. They just do not care. The fuckers. Fuck them
Fuck.
Won't be upgrading my iPhone 3G because iTunes messes up all my music. It refuses to recognise unknown artists as albums if in their unique folder in Windows & instead mixes Meatloaf with Vanessa Mae - argggghhhh!
What's more it adds disk 2 of my 80's album multiple times whilst loosing Kate Bush's album art.
In short iTunes is shit.
Itunes is shit. All I wanted to do is add ONE FUCKING FILE
All I wanted to do is add ONE FUCKING FOLDER and now I've wasted THIRTY MINUTES trying and ended up deleting the pile of shit from my computer. I'm soldering my ipod to my furby and ordering a proper no-shit Mp3 player tonight. I'm done with this poser bullshit not very user friendly interface.
Almost everything with and "i" before its name is shit. iPhone, iPod, iTunes, iPad and some would say even iStevenPaulJobs. The only way I am willing to "synch" a device is by drag'n drop files on a mounted device that will index files automatically. The device should be able to delete, rename or re-tag the music files without a computer. For example, it's when I am listening to a song that I know that I wanna remove it because of tired of it. Not when I'm in front of the computer that is synchronized with a f***ing software like iTunes.
I am an happy HTC Desire smart phone owner. Most of my music is on it and I've never touched my iPod touch since I have the HTC. I'm free from iTunes!
iTunes IS A PIECE OF RHINO SHIT! Why are most Mac users fucktards and support this shit!?
ITS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SHIT. Hogs my computer. Deletes random files. Duplicates files. Takes my money. Enough said its so shit.
Total piece of horseshit!Worst program I've ever seen. Hogs all system resources. Whoever wrote this piece of shit is a a DICK-WAD.
Granted, other manufacturers are shit for not making decent alternatives to the fucking ipod classic. It shouldn't be that hard. I just want a big hard drive. That's all, otherwise I'm not picky. Iriver used to make one, it sold out a few years back at Christmas, and they never introduced a replacement. Too bad, as you could use the vastly superior Media Player with it (not that that's saying so much).
But ITunes is shit. You never know how long sync will take: 30 seconds? 5 minutes? 20? And, of course, it never tells you what it is doing. I also love how sometimes you click on eject, and it starts to sync, and, again, god alone knows how long it's going to take. This usually happens when you really want to take it somewhere.
That's apart from all the times it crashes, is astoundingly slow, sucks up all the system resources, has an opaque shit interface etc etc etc.
perfect iv only just found this blog and the word serch use was itune is shite :) sorry for any spelling mistke made but im almost drnuk :) still all i want is some sweet chilliing tunes to go to bed with !!! is this possible.........? no its fking not because itune is such an amazing smack tard that it cant even stand the thought of me pluging my iphone into it, so here i am at 5.36 waiting for itunes to make love to my iphone so i can go the fk to sleep after the worst work do ever preformed in the history time, and yes i read the post which said be constuctive but from a programmers point of view iv put better projects in the bin and had a perfect sleep so here is the dirty secrite they dont want you to know the pc version is made with programming errors my system is a water cooled 4.6 intel quad core running 8g ram with 8 - 250 ssd drives on a raid system and to top it off i have 2-1g nivida fx pro cards on a sli setup my temp stay stedy at 25c always, so when i can run any rendering programe i like why cant a simple programe do it job ? is apple short on cash ??? think not, im off to bed sweet dreams all
I bought an ipod nano when they first came out (around 2006 I think) and promptly threw it in the bin.
Not on purpose though, it was amongst a pile of newspapers I threw away while staying in a hotel in Dublin. I was pretty annoyed at the time.
Anyway, I refuse to buy anything Apple now simply because they are such an arse to use. Macs are a complete arse to use (prob because I am so used to PCs), Safari on Windows isn't very secure, Bonjour just likes messing up IP addresses for fun, and yes.... ITUNES IS SHIT.
I googled "itunes is shit" because I am sitting here now, updating my gf's ipod before we go on holidays. I have my android phone in the other room offlining music from Grooveshark... a process that is taking a while (it is downloading around 400 songs) but literally took a few button pushes to complete. Itunes on the other hand just ain't playing ball.
How the hell do i delete music off the ipod? Can I right-click and remove a song? No, that would make too much sense. I think i have to find what songs are set up to sync and set them to unsync. My god. A. Pile. Of. Shit.
So I can't wait until a decent android tablet comes out... the ipad is sweet. It just uses itunes and the store got rid of the grooveshark app. Aww yea, it's lockdown.
I agree this piece of shit is driving me crazy. Shit doesnt open half the time or always freezes. Cant even detect my iphone without waiting 2 mins. Syncing is fucking ridiculous. Drag and drop of everything would have been so much easier. But no... POS makes u and your computer a slave to it. Itunes is garbage end of story. Fuck you apple. Read this blog and send it up steve jobs ass.
Oh and when it says bitch please i will delete your shit, you bet it will.
Lol ho i got here? I googled itunes is shit, lol just the like fella with the comment above.
Why are all Apple users idiots who think PC is a company? Even on OSX iTunes is a piece of shit. iTunes is like a girl with big, fat, stinky, hairy monkey tits.
I'm new to Apple products. I finally caved in & treated my missus to the iPod she wanted & thought I'd quickly get it up & running for her.
Like everyone here I consider myself to be computer literate. In just a couple of short hours this steaming pile of dogshit has singlehandedly fucked up my music collection, filled my nice fresh clean Windows install with a host of unwanted, uninvited, bloated tossware - Christ on a bike, it's already crashing & giving error messages every time I re-boot, fucking Bonjour... Fucking hell Jobs you cockmuncher sort it out for fucks sake you unaccommodatiing cunt. Regardless, you Apple wankstains will never get a penny of my money again.
In despair I Googled "iTunes is fucking shit" & found all of you like minded souls.
shity shity itunes
Curious to know why everyone has to swear here. Just because Apple's software department is good at making piles of steaming turds which they think is software is no reason for obscenities. So shut the fuck up. OK?
How many goats does iTunes blow? I don't know but this does explain why it's so fucking slow. The status message should read 'iTunes is blowing goats, back in 1 hour plz wait'.
I would say it is shit even on Mac! I've been Apple user for last 10 years and I'm going back to anything but Apple all the way. In 2002 they had an advantage in hardware-software solutions for photo-video-music and I do it for a living. And I converted all the way, I eliminated all PC from my business. Now they forgetting to update pro applications in almost 5 years not freaking updates! They still can't do Blu-Ray! They can't do AVCHD natively! They are fucked. I'm so tired and disgusted by Apple and its idiotic leadership. At present I have 3 apple laptops and one Mac Pro workstation all of which are going on ebay. The iPhones have been kicked out in favor of Android phones. All apple hardware is crap. They laptops are toys. They are so babied and so fucking unreliable, each one of them was in repair. Apple' hardware as of today is overpriced shit. It never was cheap but at least it brought some benefits, not anymore. I can't even start complaining, because it will take me a week to figure out where to start! Mac is system for morons. It is an ultimate scam, it is selling of time-share.
Great Blog. Judging by the recent comments I wont be letting Itunes update as it would appear it is still Shite. Just Moved all my music onto a new external drive to acommodate all my music files into one folder, All went surprisingly well until letting itunes equalize volume levels, yep it hung my pc. have not had to use this U S (useless) piece of tosh (or task manager) for some time, I did not miss it. I also wont be switching to a mac because of Shitetunes. So relieved Apple failed to deliver me one on time for christmas 2006. Beggars belief That itunes is still so lame.
I binned my orginal ipod for a proper mp3 player. I know use a Sansa clip. It plugs into Windows and you drag n drop files just like you would to a local folder. No bloatware no fucking Wanky itunes butting in saying "uhh hold on what's this... i dont recognise this player STOP you thieving cunt now!" Or "fuck off this isn't currently on this player i must wipe this device and resynch it, i dont give a shit if you lose everything, just buy it again from itunes" The cunts of course factor this in, so what if itunes wipes everything, it's your own fault, and then they get moire money from you. And DRS you can suck my cock, if you buy from itunes you should be able to do what YOU want with that tune.
So my iphone is purely used for calls and apps etc not music. And now i see Android phones doing just as well there. I vow never to buy another piece of shit iphone or any device requiring itunes.
Totally agree apple is good but they have just made iTunes retarded I can't stand it any longer I have to use ifunbox much better than iTunes but have a problem trying to find my music on my iPad vie been looking Ono YouTube for ages and I have not got this folder hmm:/ ... iTunes is shit ... Look it up on facebook groups lol
I have spent the past two weeks trying to bring my music library into itunes (after playing with WMP & MediaMonkey). I have spent hours, every day, tracking down info and hints about the gapless things itunes is endlessly doing. At this point, I would like to know if there is a place I can go to say how I feel about this feature, the gapless playback, which apple is still telling us we should appreciate. I have not yet found a place on the web which can contain all of the expletives this feature deserves. I cannot fathom anybody pretending to be a modern programmer who could let such a thing in, and then without an option to disable it. Maybe the world needs a snail-mail address for Apple, to which everyone whos' used iTunes can send a letter of appreciation for the gapless, automatic and non-killable, option that Apple has for so long foisted on us. All of the features and power of a major app, brought to such a low, by something so obviously and inescapably stupid - I can only cry, and delete all Apple apps.
Is there anybody in the world that likes this shite?
Repaying for tracks you loose even thou it knows youv bought them in your billing history
Four thousand updates a day making it worse everytime
Leaving pictures of your naked girl friend on her dads computer because I can't work out pretty much anything on iTunes ( went down really well )
And finally the fucking retards always messing up your songs
Plus the phone part is terrible trying to forward texts or send contacts or most things even shut phones do these days..
The gf pictures part I may be alone on lol
iTunes is without doubt the worst computer program I have ever had to use. It is total fvcking shite. I regret buying my kids ipods because I have spent untold number of hours wrestling with this piece of software garbage.
WORST PROGRAM EVER... No, no... WORST ITEM IN EXISTENCE.
A full fledged root canal is a more pleasurable experience than iTunes.
It is shite, truly. Is it because it is designed to work on mac rather than IBM? Why does it duplicate everything I put on there? Then it does not ask you once if you want to do something but twice. It's bloody awful, take it away. It's screwing up my life I want to go back to compact cassettes and paying for music please, then you value it.
As soon as Mediamonkey recognises my ipod touch 4g i will uninstall this pile of garbage!!!!!
I appreciate the request at the header to leave Apple some constructive criticism. It's a good idea, I think. Here's the best I can come up with at the moment: "Apple: Fix your shit!" Every release this iTunes app gets further screwed up. I don't know what software development methodology you're following, if any, but you need to re-think it. You've become like Microsoft on steroids - at least there have only been seven releases of Windows and it still can't do content-based file search. There have been countless releases of iTunes, and it gets more and more like an eccentric aunt.
My wife is crying and hating me -- i just wiped out all her photos fromlast 20 months and all contacts from shitPhone. What an unbelivable piece of fucking shite this fucker is . Lying to me it backed up when in fact last back up is from 10 months. I use PCtrans to manage my ipod and i sleep well --- never touched the ishite until today when tranfering library to proper android phone. Uuuuuuurrrrghhhhh --- i want to fucking smash somebody until he bleeds to death !,,,,
Thank you.
I HATE iTUNES! WHAT A PILE OF CRAP!! Adding video's on my iTunes is possible but then when I try to do the same on my mothers it crashes and burns!! WTF!! SO ANGRY!!
[Insert strong languaged, bias comment here]
Agree with pretty much everyone else here. I've been using it for many years and the sh!ite is just getting worse and worse with each and every update. I have an Alienware M17x R3 with two SSDs and iTunes is by far the most unstable, most frequently crashed and worst performing "application" on my laptop. On a freaking M17x!!! Can you believe that?
--iTunes just had a 20 sec freeze again after finished playing one song, fucking hell
It tries to back up EVERYTHING on my iPad to my C drive which only has 120GB (and 'backed up files' are named like '35k3j5h2jkhkj32hkjh632k' so users like you and me cannot manage ourselves) and have to cancel it every single time I try to sync. There's one time it copied 29GB of data when i clicked SYNC(!!!) onto my C drive which at that time only had 33 GB left, and we all know how SSDs works. I WANT TO AVOID WRITING UNNECESSARY DATA ONTO MY SMALL SSDS AND YOU FREAKING ITUNES DOESNT EVEN NOTIFY ME ABOUT IT and I wasted 1 hour of my time. (No USB3.0 thank you apple!) And you can't even change the back up folder how retarded is that!?? and there are numerous other issues as well. and the worst part is i have no choice but to endure this utter pile of garbage. sigh..
When I have clicked Apps - I want to look at apps. If I do a search - DON'T show me bloody music. Also - a keyword search often does not produce apps which I know are there - why is it so crap and unintuitive? And this is the minor stuff - the major is the sort of thing wept about above. I've had my share - update iTunes and then it doesn't work... What's that sh*t about? Have to reinstall - miracle of miracles - it works!
It is SO DAMN CLUNKY and they HIDE THINGS AWAY so you DON'T HAVE THE CONTROL you want. Their time will come...
itunes is a SLUNT. simple. you could be forgiven for thinking it was deliberately written for the sole intention of completely fucking your data. Some software engineer thought to themselves "I'm bored today - I might jizz on the entire world's music collections for a laugh."
I think Apple are a bunch of twats too. My newly installed iTunes 10 won't connect to the iStore - how will they sell anything? Stupid as well as annoying.
I thought it was just my dumb luck to have a completely bear-arsed load of shite like my Nano iPod - I'm on my third, and up until the orange nightmare I now own, the previous two were great and I still have 'em. I've lost count of how many times I've downloaded iTunes to actually make the effing thing work this time, it's so disappointing. At the moment my music library is faint and won't allow me into it to play or add a song on my PC. This has happened before and came back courtesy of a download, but this time, well, I totally agree with all on this site. I think it was the cause of me having to replace my strap-own exterior hard disk, which, coincidentally, went tits-up at exactly the same time as the iPod started playing up. I am now going off to scream like a woman!
I came across this site while waiting to be able to drag 13 songs into my ipod, after i waited 10 minutes for itunes and its 5 or 6 cohort programs (bonjour, safari, etc.) to all finish their aids-riddled loading processes. Why did I find this site above others? Because I googled "why is itunes so fucking slow?" My computer is getting a bit aged for my liking, but still outperforms whatever the best Dell on the market is. 337GB of music (while a lot, 230 gigs of it sucks), and itunes is the one and only program I've ever had trouble or slowness with on this PC - and this PC has been running Vista from the start. Love my iPod, can't say "fuck you in the dickhole" enough to the creators of itunes.
I found this article after typing "why is itunes so shitty" into my web browser. Though I don't give a damn what the program looks like, I thought the first thing you were going to mention is how it deletes everything when you plug in your god damn ipod. Yes, there is an option for "manage music and videos manually", but unfortunately IT DOESN'T WORK ON PLAYLISTS! EVERY time I add music to my ipod, it UNDOES my playlists to how they used to be!!! What the fuck is the problem with them; where was the thinking that caused them to not update this? I have the most recent version of the software, blah blah blah.
I've been waiting around for Apple to fix the pile of shit that is iTunes for Windows for way too long. Today I finally decided that I'd had enough. I installed Foobar2000. I imported all of my playlists. I set it to monitor my NAS music share. It's pretty awesome. I hate the fact that I didn't do this years ago.
So glad I'm nae the only one here! Trying to start again and it seems as if I will have to delete all the 21000 songs (sometimes 6 versions of the same song!) 5 at a time or else my PC crashes. WTF!! I will still be here Xmas 2013... FFS..... Apple. Fuckin Rotten. Need to make an appointment to get yer shit broken iPod fixed? Yes. Need to make an appointment to buy an iPad or iMac? No? Didn't fuckin think so.... Piss off and die. Oh, sorry u are, and I don't feel the sympathy......
Got here by typing on google; "ITUNES IS FUCKING SHIT, FUCKING HELL", i'm not going into detail but it made me so happy seeing everyone else say they've typed in the same sort of phrases and got linked to this site... It's safe to say google rocks, itunes suck.
For some reason my iTunes can't find my iPod, yet it can on my laptop. It also can't find album artwork and is putting all my tracks into individual albums for no reason. Steve Jobs you useless cunt, could've atleast attempted to fix it before you died!
I agree that iTunes for Windows is a pile of wank. However my opinion was in no way influenced by you. I distrust your judgement. For what reason? Your pile of faggot wank that is on your iTunes library.
I love stevie barrett long time
Cant believe I've just wasted more hours on my wife's Iphone trying to make sense of that complete pile of fucking shit that is Itunes. It is the worst program in the fucking universe. I cant get over the amount of shit you have to wade through just to add a fucking song. And it needs an update every 32 minutes or it will refuse to work at all. I want to smash the fucking phone to bits and give her the 500 quid myself. Fucking apple wankers cant believe they are getting away with it.
Couldn't agree more, why don't they stick to making phones and leave software to people who know what they're doing!!!!!
Agreed.... would love to know, does this shit actually work on a Mac?
Totally agree it is complete shit...
Winamp and CopyTrans is all ya need.
It's an incredibly useless piece of complete shit. All I want is drag and fucking drop. Stuck with a fucking iphone4 and I have to fuck my windows machine up with this bastard software? Fuck off Apple. I threw my Iphone4 out of the car at 60mph and drove over it. It locked up and dropped out on a call for the last time. Bonjour- ha, another piece of Apple shit. There's another story.
It would have to be the second worst piece of shit software ever conceived, only beaten by Vista! It's so fucking complicated, combined with Bonjour which fucks up other settings on the PC, it continually needs to update, its a fucking time bandit with everything & anything taking for fucking ever to do, even the simplist of tasks take fucking hours! Continually fucking freezes. Still no drop & drag for fuck sake! My first iPhone 3 had no fucking music or videos on it for 18 months coz nobody (not even those who use iTunes all the time) could get anything on the fucking thing & I guess now my iPhone 4S will be exactly the fucking same as 4 years on, Itunes is still a complicated worthless fucking piece of SHIT!
I FUCKING HATE ITUNES. I FUCKING HATE APPLE. I FUCKING HATE STEVE JOBS CORPSE. I RUN 64BIT XP. I HAVE TO HACK MSI INSTALLER FOR ITUNES BECAUSE THEY DONT HAVE A VERSION FOR MY OP. NOW I HAVE THE BLOATED PIECE OF CRAP THAT IS ITUNES WORKING IT SYNCS TO FUCKING ADVERTS AND MONEY SUCKING CRAP BUT OH NO I CANT SYNC TO MY CUNTING IPOD. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING EXCEPT MURDERING A RANDOM STRANGER. GOD WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE SOOOO DIFFICULT TO PLAY AN MP3?
iTunes is fucking retarded.. It doesn't open for me and will only accept a certain ipod. Like Fuck off, Apple I hope you fuckin burn you faggots. 15gb of music I can't even access, Go rot in hell you fuckers! Better yet, When I do get it open it crashes every fuckin 3 minutes.. And no explanation. Learn 2 make a program, PEACE
itunes has always been a pile of crap and just seems to get worse with every 'update'. It takes hours to 'back up' my ipod everytime i connect it. Plus, i have to restart this process everytime i connect the ipod, and constantly retry because itunes spends all day everyday crashing. Now I've downloaded Update 5.0 its got even worse. None of my apps work on my ipod now, and everytime i sync it fails. plus the update is taking up about half the memory space of my ipod. Seriously, if anyone has a brilliant alternative or way to fix these errors i'd be delighted to hear.
Couldn't agree more. The latest version of iTunes and iOS5 just make the situation worse! Why does it never get fixed by Apple?!
ITUNES IS FUCKING RETARDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND IT CAN GO TO HELLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF HELL EXIST FOR COMPUTER PROGRAMS.
Maybe this pile of shit finally crawled back from hell and dragged Jobs' sorry ass home with it. Capitalist marketing fuck!
The iPad2 generates anger is I believe due to the fact that its software is so convoluted and inefficient. Most of us throughout the world do certain daily things that keep our lives going in an orderly fashion. We go to work, clean ourselves and our homes and pay our bills and communicate online. Thus our computers are vital to keeping our lives functioning. We buy an iPad2 thinking the device will compliment this orderly process and it doesnt, it frustrates it and anything that can be done easily on a WINDOWS PC takes for ever or not at all with APPLE. Transfer 300mb of mp3 from the cd in my lap top drive to wife's iPad2 so she can listen to the talking book. If I had docked the device to the PC I was concerned iTunes would take over...another fault...and download all the mp3 to the iPad and sync and auto this and that. So all I wanted was to transfer a folder of files over using our home wifi network...which my Canon printer is on, my ps3 is on and our 2 WIN lap tops are on and god knows what else. BUT NOT THE IPAD O NO THAT WOULD BE TOO FUNCTIONAL. I think appearance over ACTUAL USABILITY IN THE REAL WORLD HAS TAKEN OVER THE SOFTWARE It must come from China, the MafiaCapitalist centre of mean spirited exploitation and clusterfucks. I detest the iPad and would have sold it except it had been engraved, and the descision to return occured 2 hours after getting the piece of shit into our home.
I AM LETTING MY AGGRESSION OUT RIGHT NOW, COZ I DNT REALLY WANNA BREAK MY LAPTOP!!! APPLE IS THE BIGGEST PILE OF SHITTTTTT. LET ME EMPHASISE THE T IN SHIT!!! BIGGEST SHIT EVER!!!!!
I too hate Apple on PC, it fucking sucks!..it take so long to effing wake up. By the it boots I have forgotten why I wanted to use the pile of shit in the first place. I rip (off) music now where I used to buy it lagit from iTunes. I would un-install the crap if wasn't for the fact that I cant wast time sorting the library out. PHEW that's better.
I typed 'itunes is shit' into google and hoped someone would have the same opinion, enjoyed reading that. big respect bro
iTunes is definitely a total piece of steaming dog shit. What pisses me off is the fact that any time I want to add a song to my iPod, it takes 20 fucking minutes. It has to sync every fucking app I ever downloaded and it takes FUCKING FOREVER!!
I also Googled "iTunes is shit", and found this site.
Glad to see the word I'd getting out!!!!!!!
iTunes is useless. Lets start a petition to force Apple to allow the option of other softwares to update the ipod/iphone. The amount of crap bloatware that every installtion of itunes brings is disgraceful. Talk about a violation of my rights!
Me too, I googled itunes is shit. Because it is. have been forced to restore entire phne after an "update" which totally F***cked the sync process. has now been "restoring" for 2 hours. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
It is common knowledge that i-tunes is a seriously problematic piece off "software"... Unfortunately it is also the only software to use with i-products, which are pretty ok judging from my experience with my 3gs. That said I'm probably never going to buy anything with i- infront just because of itunes.
Last incident with itunes... how normal is it for itunes to autorestore my iphone to factory settings??? FFS there was nothing wrong with it! I just wanted to charge it up! I plugged it in, itunes autoruns and then decides to restore my phone.. WTF apple?
only use it to sync my idevices. If I buy anything from istore then i immediately rip it using a third party app and back it up. seams pointles but I wouldnt trust the late deprated mr jobs and his motly crew as far as i can dump.
biggest pile of crap fuck this am reverting back to tapes
Couldn't agree more! This bloated user unfriendly pile of shit that is itunes has fucked me over many a time! I can't even synch over my playlists properly - one synch 40% of songs would synch over , next synch 35% of songs would come over! These songs are on the device in another playlist but won't go across to a different playlist??? WTF? I always thought apple was great and user friendly! What a load of greedy money grabbing dickwads! My personal favourite itunes store fuckup was as follows: Bought an ipad app for $8.99 , money is available on the credit card icrap deducts $8.99. Sounds ok doesn't it? Well from then on icrap KEEPS FUCKING DEDUCTING $8.99 EVERY FUCKING HOUR TO THE POINT OF DEPLETING THE CREDIT CARD RIGHT UP TO THE CREDIT LIMIT!!! Had to block the card and couldn't get any food shopping that night cos pay was delayed! Fucking fantastic stuff and tried to explain this to the people at ishit support and would have better luck trying to get a toddler to build a nuclear reactor! What a pack of idickheads! Phew that felt better!
I typed "itunes sucks" to get here. Obviously, I'm not as imaginative as most of you :(
I just realized it's been a while since I heard one of my fav songs on iTunes. Indeed, itunes had inexplicably wiped all traces of it! Something else nobody's mentioned is the auto-correct feature when you want to change the album or artist's name. Try changing it to a word with similar spelling but different case (say from lowercase to Title Case)? That's right -- it doesn't work!!
Yes...there is absolutely no question that the itunes software is by far the worst pile of programing donkey shit ever to have been released. The developers that shoved their cocks down the donkeys throat resulting in the rancid feces should all be lined up and forced to re-organize every single music library that has ever been fucked by their software. That being said...I have finally discovered a perfect solution to this issue for anyone who loves their ipod but hates itunes! It's so simple it hurts...it's called Winamp. Imagine...easily organize all your music in one place with full ID3 tags (that can easily be updated and changed) and album art (that is as simple as copy and paste). Once your music is set up the way you want it (takes no time at all with this software)...getting it to your ipod is as easy as drag and drop! Yup...you heard me...DRAG AND DROP...imagine that? Just like everything else in windows...and why windows is so easy to use and great...drag and fuckin drop. Want new music on your ipod? Plug it in...drag and drop...done...YAY! Want music off your ipod...right click...delete! Wow...was that so fuckin hard you gay motherfuckers down at apple???? So there you go...get Winamp and life is good and you can once again enjoy your ipod...works just like an external hard drive. I just wish I could file a lawsuit against apple for the hundreds of lost hours over the years spent trying to get organized music on my ipod!
Stumbled over this site by searching for "itunes crap". Nice to know that i'm not the only one hating it. I've never used ITunes for playing music because i didn't like the "philosophy". But because of the IPad and iPhone i buyed recently (which i like), itunes now regularly tests my nervous system. Thanks to all of you, because after reading through other people's comments, i can finally laugh again :))
I-Tunes has just cocked up three years of my tunes + all their Artwork ,when I used I-Tune to transfer all my tune from my USB 2 harddrive to my USB 3 harddrive,its like someone dropped a hand grenade in amongst my tunes ,its going to take a very long time to put right,I have tunes with No Titles No Artists No Album name just the run times.so I am just deleting them. Is there anything better than I-Tunes for storing our music on. something that does not bring in a load of crap into my computer. best of luck. SamBenidict
I found this site by accident as I was searching for a solution to a problem I encountered while using the most frustrating software I have ever attempted to use, itunes. Due to my son's desire to own an iphone and my daughter's pleading to have an ipod, I gave in and bought them what they wanted. What a huge mistake!! not only did itunes make a mess of my once pristine mp3 files by removing titles, artists and album names, the interface is terribly confusing. I have never worked with a mac system, but I have seen my share of poorly written programs for windows, but nothing compares to the discussing bug ridden piece of garbage known as itunes. I purchased a $25.00 gift card for my daughter and I have spent hours attempting to redeem the thing. I have been searching for ways around program crashes, I have made changes in the task manager to stop apps related to iphone and itunes from crashing. Every time I hit “create new account”, the program crashes. I truly hate the entire mess.
I have an iPhone and removed iTunes and all its filthy tentacles of bullshit that infected my previously perfect win7 install. Fucking icehole Bonjour- WTF is the use of it? It is complete bullshit and serves to only fuck up everything from standby/hibernation issues, to loss of IP addresses and network failures. What an utter fiasco. The reason fuck face apple installs it (as does Adobe in CS4) is to balls-up otherwise great systems. Fuck MP3s altogether, there was a time when I considered an iPod, but this shit stain of a program meant I use the iPhone for calls and email and web surfing- not a single song in it and it can never sync to iTunes again. If it crashes and needs an 'update'- I'll update the asshat of a phone into the trash can. Fucking Apple assholes. Go screw yourselves. It's funny walking past an Apple store seeing all those sheep lapping up the iTunes shit wagon. Funny, owning an iPhone has only made me like Bill Gates more. At least his software fucking works. Is there a rant like this for Microsoft Word? Or excel? No. If you can't write software, stick to what you do well, hardware.
iTunes is Apple's joke pn PC users, it's a pile of shite.
How did I get yo this site? I Googled "iTunes crap"
I found this when I Googled "Fucking iTunes", and boy was I fucking right!! This dumbass stoftware, for the third time, has wiped out my whole library because it wanted to update!!! Everytime, I pray with my heart and soul, for it not to crash, but the peice of shit always turns me down. Honestly, I was soooo freakin excited to buy an iPhone, but just because I have a PC and not a MAC, this cunt software won't let me live in peace. If Steve were alive, I'd throw a fucking shoe on his face.
Its just crap It deleted all my songs and videos erghhhh!!!!!!!!!
Hi,
This is great, I hate how people worship that crap!.
It is absolute money grabbing Shiite.
Just lost 1 years worth of songwriting ideas from my iphone voice memo recorder......while trying to sync them to Itunes.......I wont swear anymore.....the neighbours have heard enough in the past 10 mins to put me away for a lifetime............why oh why Apple will you open the gates and let third party software creators show you the way forward.......
Alan, while you said you can leave feedback on the Apple website, I hope you know that Apple doesn't take any user feedback into account. They march to the beat of their own drum.
Used to be a great design company but their dictator style of management has given them tunnel vision. They have been surpassed both on technology and design by smaller and more nimble companies. I know many people would disagree with me but those people aren't the type to seek out and look for the cutting edge products or even read non-apple related blogs. Apple is not simply a company. It is a way of living.
That being said, iTunes was one of the major factors as to why I left the Apple world. I love music but it should not be a struggle to listen to it, nor should I be told how and where I can listen to my music. It truly is Apple's albatross.
Brilliant! Very funny comments guys. I'm now cleansed...
That was me 12 months ago, stressed out of my mind after iTunes devoured about 700GB of music. Word of warning do NOT select Preferences > Advanced > Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized. Just do sort it all manually. This feature alone, cost me a good 3 months of my life - renaming and resorting files that it totally screwed up.
After 3 years of stress, I dumped my iPhone for an Android device, scrapped iTunes, sorted all my files manually in Tag&Rename software and moved over to JRiver Media Center media software. Media Center costs money - but weigh up Apple Time versus Money?
And also always back up your files either by exact mirror from drive A to drive B or get a RAID array set-up that suits you.
P.S. iTunes is absolute WANK!
I think iTunes is the crappiest piece of software ever to be dumped on this planet.
on top of all its poorly coded, for real. Apple iTunes - By dumb fucks for dip shits.
How is it possible for such an established software leader to create a pile of shit AND have the front to call their puppets 'genius'. iTunes is backward full stop.
I totally agree....itunes is shiiiiiiit! Wanky Shiiiiit!
