Hi Erik, 1000% agreed.

Hum, I just can't hear the word ITunes without breaking out in a sweat and frothing at the mouth. Of course, my sighted family insists that if I could see I'd like it a lot better, but then I lmao'ed at them for over half an hour while two of my sighted siblings struggled in vain to locate an audiobook that my brother imported into ITunes so he could get it to the nanno he got for christmas. And that's not even getting into what happens when Itunes loads with network or external drives not mounted, and what it does if you plug in more than one IPod without custom libraries, or... It's the most horrible piece of software I've ever used in my life and the hell of it is, it's 100% accessible, lol.
