Transferring MP3 to iPod?
Arc-sama:
Ok it should not take that long (as seen in your video) to open iTunes. Even if my HD is idle it doesn't take longer than 30 second to open.
As far as I know, there is the iCloud storage which you can store your music online and transfer files between it and your apple products ... but I think this may only apply to items purchase in iTunes. I don't use it so I can't say for sure it would store files you have gotten thru other means and you may still need to have iTunes on your computer.

A few more guys told me that it loads like that on their PC's as well. I have an I5-750 quad core (and a few more laptops), and each one i tried it on loaded just as slowly, i'm guessing it doesn't like my network, tho i'm not really sure why it has to care about that when i just want to interact with a local device. Dragging multiple files into it was a pain as well, it's like when you hover a file over it, the pc freezes as if it's scanning the files you haven't even dropped yet, the more you drag at once, the longer it freezes. If you drop it before it finishes scanning/unfreezes it won't get accepted and you'll have to pick it up again. The UI itself, takes several seconds to change screens when you're navigating it. This means it takes forever if you're updating your media files on multiple apps.
On the android, like i showed in the first video, you go to the folders, and start dropping your files into it. This was the point i was making during the arguments, and it's supposed to be countered in iOS5.

Sell iPod, and get a real MP3 player and there would be no problem.

TBH I have tried zunes, iPods and generic mp3s, and I do like iPods way better, WAY better, obviously they are more pricey but hey, you pay for what you get. . .I ran through 3 generics in a year, after X time, boom they dont play anything anymore and they just become a storage drive. . .
iTunes, at least compared to Windows Media Player is way WAY WAY better, I havent used winamp enough to actually have a decision comparing both, but since im happy with iTunes, theres no need to try it.
BTW, what I do is open iTunes when I boot my computer and I dont close it ever, I just minimize it, and you can download the remote app fro the ipod touch and control itunes and your PC media from the ipod (works great to start up your day with music before you get out of bed)
