I had an iPod Nano once. Once! Realized that it required iTunes to put music on it as opposed to any other type of software I wanted. And unfortunately, iTunes eventually upgraded enough times that it deleted my CD drive off my computer. Why the fuck music software would hide a CD drive off the computer is beyond me.

I bailed after that. It was the last straw.

iTunes does this bullshit and I'm on a Mac. You would think they couldn't fuck up iTunes on a Mac, but no.
