RANT

My new laptop came with windows 8.  It is truly FUCKED.  Even the desk top replacement you can switch too isn't that crash hot.

And iTunes.  I got an iPod for my birthday so started ripping CDs with iTunes   It works ok with SOME newer cds.  As I mostly listen to classical it seem determined to ruin my internal balance of calm.  Mostly by ripping all the tracks but popping one track into a separate file and I cant work out to get the tracks back together.  So i end up deleting the whole lot and trying again.  And it misplaces a DIFFERENT track.  

In desperation I have turned my 2004 Pentium desktop back on and started ripping with an old version of windows player which at least allows some manipulation within the folder.

Of course I realise the whole point of apple and iTunes is to get you to download your music but since I paid for 2000 CDs i want to listen to them with the convenience of mp3.  Why pay twice?
