got a new usb flash to use to transfer music , hopefully to legacy windows player

I used to love playing music on my phone and computer, until itunes fucked everything up

from illegally changing file names on non apple music to changing special release albums to standard, thereby losing live music and extras, not transfering other music I own, I am done with them

I am now not going to my phone or itunes/music at all, it's back to windows media player on my lap top

my problem is that I want to use my stuff on my terms

not that apple cares

apple is such a strange company, their products are not too bad, they make great movies and tv

but they don't integrate well with other systems at all

this phone is such a waste of money for me

They don't want to integrate, they just want to completely control what you use so they can dictate what you do and don't see. They're not the only ones, of course, but they're one of the few companies I feel is so obvious about it.
