I haven't had any technical issues with iTunes - whether on a Mac or PC platform. All the issues I've has have been user related ("error between keyboard and chair") and in all cases were simply learning curve items - I just had to learn the "iTunes way" of thinking and doing stuff.

I tend to agree that this sort of cerebral reprogramming requirement is rather un-Apple. Their devices and software are GENERALLY intuitive (a few similar problems learning features of Numbers & Pages too) but iTunes is less so. Maybe their software developers are less concerned about ease-of-use by the unfamiliar than their hardware guys (?) All of the functionality is there and iTunes, Pages and Numbers (and iPhoto, etc.) are excellent - once one learns to use them and where exactly those features are.

I wish iTunes hadn't been quite so idiosyncratic and quirky but I was still able to learn it. It's really not all that bad, you just have to "un-learn" the Microsoft way that most users grew up with and have come to expect (consciously or not) as the way things should work / look / feel.
