I really wanted to come home and write a glowing review of my iPod touch and iTunes, but as usual with Apple, it’s not to be.
I was sitting at MacDonalds today waiting for my exam and idly trying out certain functions of my iPod touch. So the top song on iTunes is 4 Minutes by Madonna, Justin Timberlake and Timbaland, and it’s actually a pretty good song. So I decided since I have $15 in my iStore account, why not just buy a track and see how it goes.
So I got it and I was pretty with it, till I came home and tried to transfer it back to my iTunes library, only to find that I can’t unless I sync my iPod (which I hate to do).
Once again, Apple forces me to do something I don’t like and so it’s going to be unlikely I buy another song off iTunes on my iPod touch again. If I need to I’ll just get it from my desktop so at least I can transfer it easily.
ps: If you happen to know a way to do this, please let me know. I honestly hate how iTunes works so it’s possible that the function is there but I’m just unaware.
