I went back into the app after a while, and tried to find and play a new album I bought. First thing I noticed was that you can’t type a letter in the “browser” columns to skip to that letter in the artist list, which would natural behavior in, well, pretty much any other application I’ve ever used. So after manually scrolling down to the artist I wanted, and past countless artists which have named that begin with “The” listed under “T,” I got to the artist I wanted. Selected them. Selected the new album. Found that all the tracks were out of order, and for some reason duplicated, even though they surely aren’t in iTunes or on my computer.

At this point I decided, wow, this isn’t worth the effort, closed the app and opened up iTunes again.

Oh yea, and the topper? Remember that crash log window I mentioned earlier? Turns out it never sent the log. I couldn’t close it through any normal means, and it wasn’t even listed in the force-quit menu. I had to use terminal to kill the application.

So yea, my conclusion is that I will be staying as far away from this application as possible, thanks. A lot of people dump on iTunes as being slow and bloated, among other things, but it’s still the best music player and organizer I’ve ever used.

Bottom line: five minutes was enough to decide to reclaim the wasted hard drive space.

Here we lay face to face once again
Silence cuts like a knife as we pretend.
And I’m wondering who will be the first to say what we both know
We’re just holding on to “could have been”s and we should be letting go.

[Chorus:]
It feels like you’re a million miles away as you’re lying here with me tonight.
I can’t even find the words to say I can find a way to make it right.
And we both know that the story’s ending,
We play the part but we’re just pretending and I can’t hide the tears
’cause even though you’re here,
It feels like you’re a million miles away.

Was it me, or was it you that broke away?
For what we were is like a season love is change
And every time I think about it, it tears me up inside.
Like the rivers of emotion but I got no more tears to cry.

[Chorus:]

[Music Plays:]

[Bridge]

We can try to talk it over but we walked that road before,
While our song is playing its last note,
We both know for sure that it’s time to close that door.

[Chorus:]
