I've had nothing but problems with iTunes on PC. My buddy had a bad experience (iTunes on PC stopped recognizing his iPod) that even Apple tech could not resolve. He has been waiting 1 month for his replacement iPod...

I love the UI on the iPod and they are very price competitive but I like doing things my way which apparently iTunes/iPod don't like. I've been meaning to try out alternate music software but just haven't had the time plus I still have to burn and rip (to mp3) the 40 or so songs I purchased from iTunes online so that I can listen to them on industry *standard* devices.
