   I'll take your word for it. I'm not an Apple hater but I've never used   
   Apple devices. Well, there was the iPod shuffle that introduced my to   
   iTunes. Now that interface at least on Windows is worthy of hate. What's   
   wrong with just coming up as a mass storage device like every other mp3   
   player in the world?
