That's one of the things meant: Last time I had a look at it, the synchronizing/copying from iTunes to iPod resulted in a massive disorganisation, which prevented me from finding certain music files on the iPod.
But for me as someone who likes to have control over small details of organisation, files and software, Apple usually is too restricting.

I'm generally a blockhead and control freak regarding my data. Additionally, I don't like the extremely closed, all-proprietary spirit of Apple (or other manufacturers).

Are you serious? Why should I stick with anything just for being better than one product I didn't like? Why should I assume that the second (or third...) product is serving my purposes
best, especially when there are other, commonly used, highly recommended alternatives I haven't yet tried? What's more, I recently switched OSs, so I had to have a look around for compatible software.

I cherish my music, too. That's why I always have it in my backpack, stored encrypted on an external drive. Nonetheless, I do value my personal data (documents, e-mails, photos) even higher, largely because I have most of the important music on CDs sitting on a shelf.
