September 8th, 2009 · Comments Off · General

Too bad the iPhone makes you get sucked into the world if iTunes – because it sucks. I knew this going in, but it still isn’t fun when the limitations smack you in the face.
The limitation of which I speak is its inability to detect new files in its directories, automatically update its library database, [...]
