I admit that normal use of my iPod is okay, but there are definitely some problems with the audiobooks. Every once in a while it just loses its place and goes back to the beginning of the enormous file. Argh.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I don't think the iPod succeeded despite that sort of thing--I think the simplicity was part of the win.
yes, it's all very cute and sexy, until you use it, and by the time you realize how annoying it is you're locked into iTunes.

Its so nice that it wants to do things automatically for me. Really. But it needs to hush up and let me do what I want.
It's like Microsoft Word that way.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have interface problems, but that's because they kept changing the bits I'd gotten down pat. I think that the functionality is pretty well matched with the complexity of thte interface--there's some extra stuff I might want it to do, but there's no way I can think of without adding more buttons, and I don't wanna.
And you're not locked into iTunes. If you want out and have a CD burner you don't even need to download cheating software.
I'm actually curious about iTunes competitors--the ones I've used have been horrible. I was a paid up MMJB user, and really balked at iTunes, but it ended up being much less messy. Various other music software came with phones or PDAs, but still ugly.
Does anyone have a Zune? What does its software look like?

APPARENTLY, my "software update" has rendered half my songs unfindable. Huh? Now I'm going through and finding them manually.
