I myself do not like to Itunes and refuse to use it (therefore a point deduction for bad software). A remedy has here "SharePod" - a freeware that the necessary functions easily and quickly fulfilled. Unlike iTunes you can also transfer data from iPod to PC here! To "tag" my MP3s on (this also applies to MP4 video files) I use the program "MP3Tag", which integrates over freedb or amazon.com/de title and cover in the Mp3s. With the covers so there should be some problems with Itunes yes ...
Each does not like the Apple software, can thereby provide a remedy!
