Dusty vs. mp3

Round 1
so earlier today i had problems with itunes just trying to upload some cds. a couple i was able to resolve and a couple i couldnt. but i got the music uploaded and i was mostly content with that. but seriously why wouldnt it let me put in the artist name the way i want it and the way its supposed to be. instead i type 1 letter and it defualts to some horrible incorrect name that im sure plenty of people have and dont even realize is wrong. and then it wouldnt even recognize a couple of cds for who knows what reason so i had to manually input a bunch of information. seems like some other stuff hassles occured but i cant recall them presantly.
Round 2
now im trying to sync approximately 400 songs to the ipod. but whats this? the ipod appears to be corrupted and i have to restore it. fine. it was having issues before anyway. approximately 200 files couldnt be synced for various reasons. unauthorized computer, couldnt locate file, incompatible file type (even though it came from itunes). so syncing begins on about 4200 songs. this takes about an hour and a couple of random diconnects. but it syncs to the end of the list and then this window pops up saying it couldnt sync because the required file could not be found. what file! why after all that time does it have to happen at the end and remove everything from the pod again. ok fine lets try again. sync. required file cannot be found. so i adjust a couple of settings. required file cannot be found. find dammit! restore again. this time it jumps like 2 stepd all on its own and didnt let me select important settings. fine whatever ill fix that later. sync. required disk cannot be found. what that fuck does that mean! ok restore again. oh and i forgot to mention that between each failed sync and restore the ipod locks up and i ahve to manually restart it and thats fucked up. it was safely removed so why was it frozen at the do not disconnect screen! so it restored, it lets me select inital settings. sync. currently its about 25% done. lets hope this time it works.
Round......
since im sure my struggles with itunes and my ipod will never end lets just say i lose in this situation. stuck with a damn busted ipod and a shitty piece of software
