Why would you want to sync with itunes? Mac users will buy an iphone & PC users don't like itunes (it's too buggy on the PC) and corporate users can't use itunes on their work machines |

Huh? Is this true? Is it a licensing thing similar to Google Earth? If this is true then our IT Code of Practise needs revising. |

Surely the best answer is "don't buy proprietary [LIFTED] that only works with specified software"? My MP4 player does not require special software to copy songs to/from the device, and that's one of the key reasons I'd never buy a doompod. |

Nobody mentioned the legal implications of copying music onto a works machine... Or that, if the software is banned by policy, it is probably a disciplinary offence to try and install it. That said, I am using iTunes on my home Vista machine and work XP machine (I am allowed to install it, but I am not allowed to copy any music to the machine, I use it for podcasts) and it is fine. Over the last couple of versions it has been pretty stable. |

1. I quite like iTunes on my PC. Seems to work ok. 2. I though Google Earth was ok to use in an organisation as long as you're not using it for gains or preproducing the images, etc. |

It's usually due to internal policies. We lock down machines for customers to: a) stop them installing programs b) stop them filling the file servers & backups with their music Having music on a file server poses quite a few copyright issues |

Ah, that's ok then  At work we allow iTunes on work laptops but we don't then back up any music stuff. In fact the only "back ups" we have is a back up of stuff stored on the server. People have to put files onto their "H Drive" in order for it to be backed up. |

I have not used iTunes on the PC, but is this not what all the iPod users use? Is there a better media player for syncing mp3s, mp4s, audiobooks and podcasts with an iPod? CC p.s. Genuine question, I just don't know how iPods work on the PC. |

Media Monkey is much better than itunes on the PC. I really don't know why apple made the pc version of itunes such a dog. |

For the same reason MS couldn't get WMP right on the Mac, I suppose. |
