Apple iTunes — 

"Okay guys, what can you think of to make the worst program ever?" said Steve Jobs to his staff at Apple Headquarters.

"Well, we could make a music program of some sort that probably hogs a lot of system memory!" scoffed one programmer.

"And while we're at it," added another, "why not encode purchased music so it's unusable outside of the program? We could also make an exceedingly popular music device to go along with it that can only use this program."

"I love it! But what do we call it?" said Steve.

"iTunes," said the first programmer, "no one will escape."

I have 40 gigs of music on my computer that mI manage to get onto my iPod. I do not know how. iTunes is the slowest, bulkiest, most confusing piece of software I've ever used in my life. To manage an iPod, the best interface would be a simple drag and drop, but no, Apple decided to make people dependant on their poor program.

On the topic of buying music on iTunes, why? Why do people do this? A much better method is to actually buy CDs, as you can encode them any way you like and listen to them on any device you may buy.
