Does anyone still use iTunes?

I used to have all my music on iTunes but ditched it for a subscription service, mainly because with Google Music I can listen to absolutely anything.

I did run iTunes on my Mac briefly but only so that I could get music onto my Apple Watch; plus, it's a lot easier dealing with a mere 16 albums (the most the watch would take) rather than hundreds.

Music on my watch includes:

Al Stewart A Beach Full Of Shells
Bob Dylan Blonde On Blonde
Bob Dylan Bringing It All Back Home
Cat Stevens The Very Best Of Cat Stevens
Fine Young Cannibals The Raw And The Cooked
Fleetwood Mac Rumours
The Jayhawks Hollywood Town Hall
Joni Mitchell Blue
Judy Collins Wildflowers
Leonard Cohen Songs Of Leonard Cohen
Neil Young & Crazy Horse Psychedelic Pill
Neil Young & Crazy Horse Sleeps With Angels
Neutral Milk Hotel In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
Tom Petty Full Moon Fever
Tom Rush The Circle Game
The Who Who's Next

So a real mixture of some of my favourite albums; they would all fit in my top 100. The same sixteen albums also reside on my phone - they have to otherwise music on the watch wouldn't work. I actually do use the watch to listen to music quite often, it's the only mp3 player I have...it's handy when I don't have my phone. I'm going to keep these albums as they are because swapping them out involves iTunes, the watch, connecting via Bluetooth and my iPhone and takes forever. I ultimately deleted iTunes from my Mac so I don't have to deal with it again.

I do still have stuff from iTunes on my ipod but hardly use it these days tbh. I found their website to be a complete PITA. Also the constant updates frequently wiped out my collection.

Yes, it's hard to think of software more glitchy than iTunes.

Odd that a company so large has such a dodgy website.

It's quite a simple process really but the website makes it confusing.
