Can't take iTunes any more

Post by Ice Cream Jonsey »

Is there a program for the iPhone that will let me just copy music to my phone? I am so sick of iTunes.

It's 11:05pm. I've put off jogging the whole night. I want to copy two songs to my phone and go jog for an hour. I've been here for TEN MINUTES waiting for this shit to "sync." Everything you've ever been told about Apple's ease of use is such a lie.

If anyone has ANY leads on something that will work, I'd appreciate it.

Are you jailbroken? If so, try SharePod. That's what I use. You can easily copy files to (and from) your iPod/iPhone. You can also create playlists easily.

Foobar2000 has a plugin that will sync with the iPhone, I am told. I think winamp lets you do it also.

The iTunes Terms & Conditions honestly updates more than my blog does, and Pinback is regularly describing the douchebag fuckfaces he encounters in StarCraft 2, of which there is no end.

Having to click "agree" on the fucking thing on my iPhone and then click "agree" again on the goddamn popup is worse than getting lip cancer.

They did finally, FINALLY, after two years, let you continue with your purchase. God, this thing is an under-designed piece of shit.

I bought my iPhone during my lunch break and jailbroke it that afternoon before I even got the device home, so I never used iTunes with it.

I bought an iPad earlier this week (I hate myself) and, with no jailbreak available for 3.2.2, I'm being forced to use iTunes. Jesus God, it sucks.

I'm enjoying my new HTC Incredible Droid phone. I uninstalled iTunes from my system and I feel SO much better being 100% Apple-free.

It sickens me, I'm really up in the air for my next phone.

Flack, the iTunes Store is seriously the Breakfast with Mengele of our generation, and you were right to avoid it. It's the quickest way for me to get music to these starving artists at work. If I were at home, I would have grabbed it off the Internet and used SharePod to put it in my phone. (Yes, I am a terrible person, blah blah.)

I tried the Cydia app "Dtunes" which says it is supposed to replace iTunes. It does half the functionality: it closes upon launching it 10/10 times, which ain't bad.
