River Media Center, which I’ve talked about before, has not been playing nice with my iPod so I’m trying again (I think this is my 3rd attempt) to get iTunes to work the way I want it. My biggest problems: Last time I tried it after a week my database just disappeared from iTunes, ratings, play counts, everything just vanished. I didn’t have a backup so I was out of luck. In J. River those things are saved to the music file, nothing has happened to my database with that but if it did I would just reload all the songs and that information is there. The second issue may seem minor but was driving me nuts, when you delete a song from the library it doesn’t ask if I want it removed from the hard drive. I finally found that I had to change the setting for the iTunes Music Folder to point to the correct place and now it gives me this option. This is a really terrible way to do things but at least it works now. I was a little sacred to try it since I don’t want iTunes touching my file or folder names and so far its been good. So I restored my iPod and sync’d it to iTunes and things have been OK for nearly 24 hours. [...] [...] J.
