sessifetRight. Remember Tiny, the newest addition to my (small) collection of Shiny Things(TM)?
Well, Tiny is wonderful. He does what it says on the tin. Unfortunately, Tiny can only be used with iTunes.
First up, iTunes keeps nagging me to register Tiny. Well, I don't want to register Tiny. I'm not going to get his pedigree because frankly, I'm not planning on breeding him. Besides, I am happy with Tiny. I won't be persuaded to buy other Tiny Shinies. And I don't really want to have to look at new offers every day, thank you.
Second up, the absolutely ludicrous music management.
Step 1: Create a library.
Step 2: Populate Tiny from said library.
Not too bad if you want to keep the same playlist for yonks. I don't. I get bored, so I remove songs and re-add songs and that's where iTunes starts sucking like a convict at the crack of the gas chamber door.
Get this: I can delete tracks from Tiny directly, but I can't add tracks to Tiny directly. I need to use the library. Now, that's an arse backwards way of going about it, in my opinion.
It gets worse, though: While I can remove tracks from Tiny without this affecting the library (makes sense), I can't delete files from my library without it directly affecting Tiny. Which means I've just deleted the playlist I'd been so carefully pruning on Tiny, because I was silly enough to delete the library. This makes no sense! Who the hell thought of that?

Also, I have indeed been informed not to use the phrase 'terminated with extreme prejudice' when writing an incident ticket. Maybe I shouldn't have asked before doing it.
