Hallelujah.

iTunes is the single worst piece of software I have ever used. It’s the only software I’ve seen bring someone to literal tears. And it’s done that to more than a couple of family members.

May it rot in hell forever.

> iTunes is the single worst piece of software I have ever used

I mean sure it's bad, but I find it hard to take this statement literally for any HN reader.

*Note that is not a comment about HN UX, just that anyone who uses software and technology extensively has to have used some pretty terrible software products in their lifetime.

I thought about it, but no I think iTunes is actually the worst.

Some software is broken. It doesn’t work. But iTunes is so bloated and janky I don’t think I could design something that bad if I tried. The concept of “syncing” is completely wrong in a multi-device context Venn diagram.

Plus iTunes has literally brought friends and family to tears. Actual tears. No other software has done that.

As a PC user with an iphone, I loathe the fact that I have to open itunes just to transfer some music to my iphone. Let me just drag and drop instead of forcing me to into some prolonged, annoying machination.
