My wife bought me a shiny new iPod classic this summer to replace a worn out Zune... for the most part it does the job - I have no complaints with the device itself. But iTunes is driving me crazy.
Some background: I have maybe around 6000+ songs, and about half of them are ripped from CD's that I own, originally in WMA format. So of course, when I got the iPod one of the first things I had to do was convert all of those songs. I don't mind that - it took a while, but it wasn't unexpected.
The other night I noticed that a few of my albums were under the wrong artist; no biggie, I figured I'd just fix the tags and sync them up. Here is what happened instead... for some reason, it deleted all of the songs on my iPod and in my library that had been converted. Deleted as in removed the files from my HDD. Fortunately I have backups, but still... WTF?
So I am wondering if anyone here knows of a good alternative to iTunes... I know they're out there. Basically I want to be able to get music onto the iPod, and edit the album information. And I'd prefer that it not randomly delete things...
