Argh, well, it’s not too bad for me, just a few albums here and there over the last few days have disappeared, and I’m not sure whether to blame itunes, apple, or something (one?) else.

A few days ago and Andrew Bird album disappears (one that I’d downloaded). Today, it’s a Polyphonic Spree (that I have the CD for). Very mysterious.

Perhaps my computer doesn’t like Indy.

Wow! I am truly digusted with Apple allowing this to happen. Someone should complain to consumer protection and get a class action going against the bastards. It makes me realize Microsoft is not so bad afterall.

YES!!!! As soon as I had donwloaded the latest iTunes……ABOUT 400 OF MY SONGS WERE GONE! And unfortunately I have too many songs to all fit on my iPhone so not all of them were saved. Sooo this was the point I started to use Limewire.

Comment on Vista = Shit on a Stick by Ryan

Couldn’t agree more! It’s a complete crock: it crashes, it’s slow, annoying (popups, popups, popups, popups) and EVERYTHING has been moved around – why bother?

The worst thing “You left your laptop for a while so I downloaded (yet another) update and restarted the PC. Oh, you were working on it and you’ve lost your work, or what you were doing? Sorry. Tough”.

Second worst thing: switch it on and it immediately tells you to reboot. What kind of machine tells you to switch it off again, the moment you switch it on?

Microsoft need to learn, we DON’T CARE about the o/s. I don’t care about 6 trillion popups, endless patches, endless restarts. I want to switch my pc on and start working on it. When I’m done I want to switch it off. End of.

i’ve had itunes libraries get damaged numerous times, losing all the play count data and ratings etc, most songs missing from itunes. but the MP3′s and AAC’s are still in their original folders. i assume everyone here checked that.

Losing valuable files is a good lesson to backup! I periodically make a copy of my itunes music folder on another drive just in case.
