    I never said that.....but a lot less people buy apple than windows and mp3/4 players

    Ah; but they'd be the ones who would write "fewer", instead of "less". :p

    :idea: They'd probably be Fifer's famous, but so far undefined, "average laptop users".


    I've been using Macs for decades but the only iAnything i've ever wanted or bought was iWork. (Which just works. :) )

    Fixed that for you.
    There's love in this world for everyone. Every rascal and son of a gun.
    It's for the many and not the few. Be sure it's out there looking for you.

    I have an iPhone and an iPad so I have to use it. Is it this slow on a Mac?

    What's even slower than iTunes is trying to run the 5.0.whatever on my iPhone 3GS! I wish I'd never bothered updating it!

    I don't like itunes, but as an owner of apple items, I have to use it. But you just don't let it abuse your music, don't use it as a music player, just sync, and update (if wifi updating doesn't really gel with you) and then close and forget till the next update notification.

    You dont HAVE to use it. I use CopyTransManager to put music / podcasts etc onto my iphone / ipod.

    I've never felt the need for software to manage music on any recent DAP I've owned. I just drag and drop files into directories and navigate using tags.

    Bear in mind that, on a Mac system and network, iTunes handles a lot more than just music.

    No, no, no no, no! Your getting confused with "Drink a bottle a wine a day" and you've started too early. :)

    True but I went to work on an egg, and guinness is good for you....but I can't find a catchy slogan for Aspall's except it is guaranteed to get me legless, oh and it's made from apples :cool:
    Edit: oh and your wit is Suffolkating

    Have you considered "An Aspall's a day gets you smashed for a week. _party_ " ?
