iTunes + iPod: Help

[Joe Matt]

Wait wait.......

you think iTunes is a pain, while RealPlayer's bloated hard to use stuff is easy and a snap?

There are plug-ins to make it work on Win-Amp and possibly RealPlayer (not sure). If you are so anti-apple, why get this anyway? You're missing the point and seems like you just want a piece of why people like the iPod so much. The iPod isn't the greatest end all player on the market, it's integration into iTunes is what makes it so great.

To find the location of your music, either look in the iTunes folder (My Documents > My Music > iTunes) if you have enabled consolodating your library. If not, rick click and select "get info" and it'll show you there.

Simply right click and choose clear from library to delete it from the library, then it'll come up with an option to delete it from the hard drive.

It seems like RealPlayer has taught you to work too much with the software and not let it just work for you.

Should I move all of my media into the iTunes folder, and then re-import them into iTunes then?

Yes, I like to control things.

Have you installed iTunes yet? There is an option to scan your hard drive for music then consolodate your library when you install the app. If you didn't do this, just find your music you want to add, drag it into iTunes, then go under "Advanced" and select "Consolidate Library".

If you need more help, looks like you live at King of Prussia, I know they have an Apple Store there

I've found that iTunes is the best there is in terms of music players. I like it because on the surface, it's simple and effective. However, there are advanced features as well that are nice to have. Importing music is very easy (file > import), I like the option to tag songs with album art as well, and when you connect your iPod it shows up automatically in iTunes. It's great, drag and drop, easy as that. It's not necessary to have all your music in the iTunes music folder, I don't keep mine there. Import it from wherever you keep your music.

I'm not biased either way in terms of "fanboyism", but I honestly think that apple has the best MP3 player on the market because of the way it integrates with the software.
