After finally buying an iPod 160Gb Classic (long story) I installed iTunes.
What a total crock of shit. Take about f**king up all your tags and helpfully reorganizing your collection!!
I've uninstalled it and found an excellent open source plug in for Winamp (ml ipod)
And while I'm having a rant about Apple, why have you discontinued the 160GB version and not instead released a bigger version for those of us with more than thirty albums?
