yes everyone hated that. that's why itunes failed and we're still manually copying files to this day.

Sorry, but while Apple did succeed in manhandling the music industry, iTunes has never been a beloved piece of software. It has always been trash and barely worked. So to put it on some kind of pedestal is disingenuous, at best.

I loved iTunes. To this day it was my favorite all-in-one player, metadata editor, and syncing tool.

(Granted, I don't use it anymore now that streaming services are so awesome. But I miss it like I miss the feeling of buying a CD and listening to it on the way home.)
