Half of these, as I've stated, aren't real issues  and most of these 'issues' occur in the Zune software as well.
"Well, I haven't ever installed iTunes on my own computer for a number of reasons-though I have used it on occasion on others'-so I can't really say whether it's broken or not."
So you don't even use the program? Come on...that's like complaining about the President, but not voting when election time comes around. You need to use the program extensively before you sit around criticize it. Many people never take the time to look at the options provided with the program, and you get articles like this.
I checked when you posted the link. |
But what is the default? And that's also only part of the issue:

And how is it that after seven and a half releases, iTunes still isn’t smart enough to automatically detect when we’ve dropped new music in our library folder?

If they occur in the Zune software, shouldn't MS be dealing with them as well? Just because the competitor has the same problems doesn't make them fine. I'm not partial.
I have used the program and rather despised it. And really stkr, ad hominem arguements don't behoove you.
Regardless of whether or not I know the in's and out's of the programs, does that make my points any less valid? Does that change the problems at all? It means nothing. I was planning on installing it when iTunes 8 came out, until I found out that it blue screened computers and installed all kinds of bloatware. I didn't want to install something on my computer that would invite system instability, it's not worth it, especially if it is going to try to compete with the Zune software from the very start.
Well lucky you. I installed Quicktime and found that Bonjour has somehow magically popped up as well. I uninstalled Quicktime and Bonjour and did a thourough check to remove any other leftover bloat.
