I have to concede that syncing is nice, but I don't like the idea of not being able to get my music off the iPod and back onto a different hard drive if I want to. Winamp and other programs automatically add ID3 tags from the CDDB and sort the MP3s into organized folders when you rip albums, so tagging and organization has never been an issue for me. And if someone like a friend or relative wants to recharge their iPod on my PC, I don't like how iTunes always comes on and tries to sync their iPod with my music collection. If iTunes had a feature where it could manage separate collections for different iPods, I might find it more tolerable. I stopped using iTunes a long time ago when I was turned off by it, so things might be different now (please tell me if it is). But still, I would rather be able to access the iPod as a removable storage drive and have the option of copying files to and from it by simple drag-and-drop.Salamantis said:What are the advantages of drag-and-drop against iTunes? I prefer the iTunes method for some reason because I don't see why it's bad to have all your music in one location, easily tagged, and when I sync my iPod I don't have to manually drag and drop music files to it, cause it does it automatically. But the last time I used the drag and drop method was like 3 years ago, so I don't know :/
I don't just listen to music, but audiobooks and audio courses as well. When I'm done with them, I like to be able to just delete the folder containing those files on my iPod so they don't pop up randomly while I'm listening to some music on the treadmill.
That all said, I still love the iPod, but iTunes could be better.
