The Biggest Problem with iTunes

One of the biggest problems you will encounter with iTunes is how you can't plug it directly into your device quickly. Also, you have so many trivial updates just for the music. As soon as you try to sync, it means you do a backup of your files and copy the apps from your device over to the Mac. If you're in a hurry and you want to stick in

the latest album you bought on the iPhone, the lag time can be seriously frustrating. Most likely, however, you will like iTunes because it's a great place to listen to your favorite music.
