I refuse to install iTunes on anything but my macintosh... No clue what version I have there, but it's no good. What I hate most is now it's the default MP3 player, and takes longer than say Quicktime to load when I want to hear music...
I have it on my pc (desktop) and my macbook and I haven't had any problems. Eh I like the new setup for it though, thanks though I will keep an eye out for any problems.
Just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it wont work for other people. Works fine on laptop, home desktop, and after installing it on a friends pc. However, I don't really like itunes, but for the ipod's sake; yes I have to have it so my nephew can sync his ipod.
