Well you likely expected straight forward file transfering. ...I know that I did. Yet itunes has all sorts of levels of control to make what should be straight forward, into a non-intuitive mess. (Digital Rights Management - as mikester said)
I have a nano, too. I have it fairly well figured out now; but I'm just not sure that I like the compromised music enough to keep-up with the overhead of itune's "control over the masses". . . and the resulting, always changing, work-arounds.
The music industry really thinks highly of itself. . . putting life-locks on the work of a few guys in a garage one day. For contrast, James Russell, some 40 years ago invented CD technology. More than a dozen patents, which all expired more than 20 years ago. Every CD that gets produced, and he gets squat. . . but if it's a Bettles album Michael Jackson gets a royalty.
