So in the very near future (likely this weekend). I'll be making my transition from the world of Bill Gates, to the world of Steve Jobs.
One thing that has me concerned however, is iTunes. And heres why.
Buddy of mine has an iPod/iTunes setup. He brought a new mp3 with him to work one day and wanted me to check it out. So we plugged the iPod into my IBM thinkpad at work, and attempted to do a simple copy/paste off the iPod to my drive. Not so simple. Seems iTunes completely renamed the file structure on his mp3s when viewed via a windows based PC.
ex.
"Metallica - One.mp3" would appear as "FJXCND"
I'd then have to go into the file and rename it on my PC. Not such a large issue when dealing with 1-2 files. But 10+ and you can start to see a problem.
This is a concern for me while considering purchasing a Mac, because I still use PC technology. Whether it be at home or in the office. Am I going to be faced with this kind of issue from now on? Or was there a way to avoid it that I wasn't aware of at the time.
Hope I explained my situation clear enough.
Thanks in advance!
