fuck winamp. iTunes is the best thing out there.

like it was mentioned above, disable auto-synch. I do this for every program I have that uses it. I also never install iTune updates until I HAVE to. most times, they seem to disable more features than they create. so unless it crashes on you, I wouldn't accept updates.

Florya, I still think that your files are on your computer. don't search by "music" type under Window's search funtion, just use the name of the track and specify "all files". it will take awhile, but I bet the folder just got moved.

barring imminent critical hard-drive failure, it would take TWO separate confirmations to have deleted all those files (the first for "are you sure?" and the second stating that the file is too large for the recycle bin and it will be deleted).

I'm glad that you can get the stuff off your iPod right now, but there's a good chance you are using up extra space on your hard-drive with duplicate files.

itunes is ""the best" YET you have to disable its obscure, potentially catastrophic functions? fuck if anything that eats your files is "the best" anything, unless you're talking about a "hard drive cleaner".

yes flotz, i know itunes sells AAC (AAC is a compression scheme, mp4 is only a container), but upon installation, icrap sets itself as default player for all manner of music files, therefore gobbling up all innocents, such as mp3s one would download from mutant sounds (florya's records have been featured on mutant sounds, presume he might keep a few), or mp3s purchased from such respectable outfits as emusic (which lets you play what you want where you want to, unlike icacas).

since mp3s dont have the nasty proprietary layers of mp4, and therefore can be access by any decent program (such as winamp), i figured they would be a good place to start looking for richard.
