Moving and managing music on personal devices remains frustrating

People with iPods, iPhones, and removable music cards struggle to move and organize local music and playlists. One user says iTunes can stop working or delete songs, while trying other software has not solved the problem; others describe iPhone transfers as painful or ask whether card updates must be done manually. Rebuilding playlists can also mean doing it slowly and buying tracks again.

  1. I wish there was a way to just copy and paste music into my ipod. Itunes sometimes just stops working or deletes all my songs. I tried other softwares, but it's not the same
