Everything got marginally better once I wrested control of Itunes away from the 'autopilot' it is set on and set everything to manual.
Pretty pleased overall.
Most of the criticisms I've heard from friends have been down to not setting it up right.
E.g. Set it up so it imports CD's as MP3 instead of Apple Encoder
Use Smart Playlists and regular ones
I do buy music from iTunes, but once I have 20 or 30 tracks, burn 'em to CD or DVD and import them as mp3's to get around the DRM. A small price to pay.
Oh, and for anyone using Videora. Switch to Super(c). It's much more versatile and less buggy. Videora looks better than it is.
Super(c) manages the following files seamlessly:
.flv (Youtube imported using VideoDownloader in FireFox)
.3gp (recorded on my cell phone)
It even takes .avi or .mpg files and converts them to animated .gif filesSo my secret's out - Premium 4tw. Take any video clip and turn it into an avatard.
But back to topic. I use Ulead Videostudio to convert TV recordings to iPod format.
I'm very Britishly Punctual. Hate being late for meetings and if traffic's light, often arrive early and use my iPOD to catch up on Lost or Torchwood while I'm waiting.
