it's better him to use a "normal" mp3 player that he can simply drag and drop his songs... ipod+itune+sync... no way.

I've tried those. Found they don't hold up well. Have to have a constant supply of batteries around. The internal, rechargeable batter of the iPods is easier to deal with.

Not to mention that iTunes is really easy to use. In a sense you can just "drag and drop" what songs you want on there. Just add whatever songs you have to your library, then drag and drop to the iPod.

My problem I've had is picking exactly which songs I want on my iPod. With a library of well over 8000(? at least about 20-some days straight playing of) songs, it's hard to pick ones to fit on an 8gb iPod...

It's been awhile since most Mp3 players used disposable batteries. FWIW nothing is easier than a removable drive interface. iTunes is a joke. You can get a 2GB Sansa player for about $30 and be totally happy...

You can get a Chevy Aveo cheaper than a Yaris, too. Does that make it better?

Chevy Aveo is a Daewoo.

FAIL!



iTunes SUCKS. What a crappy glob of BLOATWARE.

Don't let yourself be shackled by iTunes or iPod for that matter.

The iPod - iTunes ecosystem is extremely easy to use - too easy for some peoples' tastes apparently. They'd rather fight with lashed-up solutions that require constant fiddling just to make them work. My own preference is listening to music with as little extra fiddling as possible.
