iTunes Unpossibilities
How insane is it that iTunes can’t watch a folder - it’s such a simple concept, when I add an MP3 to folder X, automatically add it to my music library, and add it to the ‘Recently added’ playlist, I’m sure it’s folder actionable, but please, I know I’m not the only iTunes user scratching his head over this glaring omission. I just realized..iTunes syncs with freeking everything BUT my Mac, ipods, iphones, appleTVs, Motorola cellphones, and a host of other things..
I’m sure it’s a business decision, his royal Steveness thinks the only music on my computer is either purchased or ripped via iTunes, and in the library already as a result.
God forbid you like to rip your music differently. after all it WAS Apple that ncouraged me to ‘Think Differently’

Hmm.. and for more “unpossibilities” -

yeah I saw both of them prior to posting this - I couldn’t get either to work, perhaps because I keep my itunes library on an external drive.. but the simple fact that this should be baked in functionality in such a mature product.
