iTunes - iPod Feedback Notes

posted Dec 1, 2011 6:17 PM by Anantha Narayan

Some things i feel are difficult, So i give a feedback on my iTtunes and iPod Experience.

  • The Application Window-Frame in iTunes software needs to have pagination, takes to much mem, difficult to scroll. I got lot of freeware and now scrolling thru them to manage is difficult. 12 apps per page may be nice ?
  • I add videos and audio manually, drag and drop apps would be nice like audio video, The sync for a few apps takes a lot of time, Incremental Sync, Only Data Sync or Complete Sync options may help.
  • Windows Multithreading, This also may be a memory problem, it may also be a problem in my computer which is overloaded, i did not test in other machines. Sometimes when iTunes is busy, mouse clicks or drag is ignored, it does not indicate it is busy.

I upgraded iTunes 8 and iPod touch 2.1 and things worked smoothly. My iPod is working better than before.

In iTunes if you rename a name of a media which is very long, (podcasts) so that it suits iPod; The renaming sometimes plays the media. I feel playing and renaming could have different actions. Even in windows explorer i have faced this problem. Right click Rename is better. Playing can be accomplished by a small play button at the end of a media file.

In iPod file tree in iTunes, i was renaming, it stopped saying sync not possible as too many files open. Then when i removed and put iPod again, it said it will restore from the backup. The restore was quite quick. Every thing was like before.

This may be a crazy idea, but i think iTunes can be entirely online.

Quicktime can provide the USB interface to an iPod as the Client Software. Quicktime can have a iPod tab.

The entire GUI and media management of iTunes can be a WebApp. This way the iPod media can be managed, when traveling, or from any computer with Quicktime.

iPod as Electronic Wallet

If the iPod carries a secure, signed or uniquely identifiable processor or key, it can be used on any computer as a very secure Electronic Wallet. The USB interface provides a way of topping up the wallet. This because two computers are involved in the transaction. The PC and iPod.
