iTunes sucks! Do you wana know why?

Question

OK guys, heres the deal! I have dowloaded some songs to my Windows computer. And I whant them songs om my got damn iPod. So to do that, I need to dowload that damn **** program iTunes. So I do that, and drag my newly dowloaded songs into iTunes. But, since the informasion on the songs a lacking, they are spreading in diffrent albums. But I do not what to have my song is diffrent albums! So i try to find a way to make a new album, and drag all the songs into that album! But i dont find any way of draging them innto a other ablum, or creating a new one! I also want the album art on these songs, but that **** anit pssoible either! I drag and drop every where, but the songs will not move, and my album image will not stick to the songs! If im not wrong, stuff like this worked before on iTunes... but not every ting is pretty f### up in that program. All of this works on Windows Media player! But i can not transfer song from Windows Media Player too my iPod! So im stuck AGAIN. And thats why iTunes, and all other apple products are ****. They have a huge lack of flexibility. (not that widows so so f### great! But i can alteast change album cover).

Stupid iTunes, aint good for ****! Do some work Apple! You guys cant do **** right after Jobs died!

iTunes "organization" is fundamentally flawed.

And only a brainless apple koolade drinker could believe otherwise.

That being said Now I'll tell you why iTunes screws things up the way it does.

Apple has an INSANE hierarchy
 for determining the ipoortance of some "tag fields"

First, iTunes does not use the "Album artist field" at all, so when you have an album with a guest
artist appearing on one track (Say Michael Jackson's "Beat it" where Eddie Van Halen is featured as a guitarist) That ONE track is placed in a seperate directory.

The NEXT insane thing that iTunes does is places each track of a "greatest hits" album 
in a seperate top upper folder not named for the "Artist" but the generic "compliation" folder
(disregarding that all tracks may be from the same album) it does the same thing with Live Albums

In addition to this it seperates these tracks further based on the ORIGINAL release year, 
not the release year of the "Greatest Hits" Album itself.

Lastly iTunes does not imbed the album cover art in the individual tracks.

All these issues can be resolved by editing the tags using a dedicated tag editing program
(I use Tag Scanner 5.1 http://www.xdlab.ru/en/ ) then manually moving the files around

Does all this sound like a collossal pain in the ***? if you think so you are right.

I have a 25,000 track music library and the vast majority (80%) was carefully ripped from CD

I quite have some suggestions on your frustrations: First the least difficult thank you to maintain your iTunes songs prepared is to shop all of them in an identical folder. it is likewise possible to optionally set iTunes to repeat new songs into that individual same folder to maintain it prepared. Then, to returned up your iTunes, in basic terms replica the completed folder to a distinctive tension (or everywhere you're backing it as much as) that's what I do. so some distance as i will tell, iTunes has continually supported drag and drop for songs... i've got additionally in no way had any playlists bypass away after upgrading... I do wish the iPods could help extra video formats, yet i think of that could be a large piece of utility universal, exceedingly because of the fact it is unfastened.
