iTunes has just corrupted its internal database again and lost my library and all my synchronisation. This is a problem because my 40GB 4G iPod is just about still working (though it requires regular violence to reset it when the hard drive starts clicking again) and I have about 3 times as much stuff as it can hold, so I have to selectively add things to iTunes so that it only syncs what I actually want on the iPod.
I now have to go through about 25000 tracks (manually, again) to put this right. Maybe it’s a ploy to make me buy a new iPod.
You’d think that with the several terabytes of updates it feels like I’ve downloaded this year that they could manage to end up with something with greater reliability than Amy Winehouse.
Apple, the people’s champion has become the new Microsoft. It’s like watching Labour become the Tories*.
