Your Apple Laptop - Attn: Jack

[Jake]

I've never compiled a list, but here it goes:
1) I hate how long you have to hold the button on the top for the unit to turn off and on, and then you have to move the slider again to make it turn off
2) I hate hate hate the fact that you have to use ITunes in order to communicate with your computer
3) I hate the fact that you have to sort through songs by album after finding an artist. This leads into my next bit of hate....
4) I hate the fact that it reads ID3 tags. Hate hate hate. I had to alter my entire music library for one device
5) I hate how you can't rearrange playlists and delete individual songs, pictures or video on the actual Ipod, you have to do it on the computer
6) I hate how it automatically uploads everything from your pictures and songs on your PC unless you specifically tell it not to
7) I hate how there are a million submenus when listening to songs that you have to navigate through... when you play a song, it pulls up an entirely new page with a big music note on it that is completely pointless. So if you accidentally choose a song or if you decide after you play it you want to listen to another, you have to go back to the last screen. 1 screen showing all of my music, when and when they are not playing, is completely fine.
8 ) I hate how the back is chrome and scratches when you look at it. This is the least important of my problems with it.

There are a few others I've noticed as I've owned it but those are the big ones. I would freak out and smash my phone on the bar like I did to my old Razr if it was just like this thing.

1: Why not just hit the top button once real quick to 'sleep' the iPod?

2: What's wrong with iTunes? I see a lot of "OMG iTunes I hate it" but nobody explains why they hate it. I like it quite a bit compared to other music playing apps I've messed with.

3: There's an option for All Albums.

4: Like Jack, I don't see the problem here. So you don't buy your MP3s, do you rip em from CDs or hit up LimeWire? I do all three methods (iTunes Store, CDs, and LimeWire) and appreciate how it supports a tagging standard.

5: Agreed. On-The-Go playlists are about all you can do.

6: You can turn that off. Most people have less music than storage space on the iPod, so AutoFill is fine, in the sense of "oh, all my music is on the iPod."

7: The whole wasted space thing is an iPod Touch & iPhone thing. I like seeing my cover art, but at the same time, think the font for song name, etc, is way too small. At least if you have cover art you won't have to look at a big music note...

8: Yep.
