:twisted: I’m pissed.
For some reason I can never use iTunes realiably on the TR3A. It first lags a lot… controls are unresponsive and only spring to live 5 seconds after I clicked on button. Today it seemed to get worse… the interface seems to want to redraw itself as parts of it turn metallic black. I check Sony’s UI control in the control panel and made sure it was set to Windows mode, not some fancy scheme. DOes anyone have a clue why this is happening? I keep my Windows XP home system trim and clean, yet this happens. WHat could be conflicting here?

i also find itunes for windows a little annoying/quarky and as groovyone wrote - unintuitive

i am looking for a better windows software that can better manage my ipod. any suggestions?

I’ve used Itunes on Tr3 for years now with no problems, but whatever you do, don’t download and try v5. v4.9.0.7 is stable. are u using xp home or professional?  anyway, it’s one of my fav programs on the TR3…

V5.1 is now out, maybe more stable than V5.0?

No! From what the boards are saying is that 5.1 fixed nothing, as the problem appears to be some strange incompat between itunes and quicktime. It’s a total Fiasco over at Apple, and I think they may lose a lot of followers over this one if they don’t fix soon.  I am not sure, but the upgrade was probally for the Nano or perhaps some of the newer color ipods? Anyway, I have a 40gb2ndg and a shuffle and all is well. I really like the shuffle but it was way over priced, even in Singapore $$s. The nano looks cools but I don’t see much of use for it personally, not with the shuffle. Anyway, go here to find the latest on 5.1+:
 
It looks like a disaster for anyone who takes their Itunes4 music library seriously. :shock:
