As I understand it,from reviews and comments, iTunes on Windows sucks in
general! It is just a poorly designed program. It is understandable that
Apple, when it was a a small computer company would not attract the top
Windows developers and Apple would have little interest in Windows software.
However, now that they are the biggest consumer electronics company you
would think that they could afford some Windows development talent.
Afterall, a majority of their profit now comes from iTunes sales mostly from
the Windows version. However, at Apple they will not be happy until
everything goes Apple!

There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real
substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working
on things that matter.
