The worst is "You know what I like just throw whatever on there". No auntie Janice I haven't seen you since last Christmas since you came over and drank all my booze, so NO I have no clue what you like.

P.S. I am not your personal tech support.

And then they bitch that 'it all sounds the same', or 'its a bit bass heavy' and complain that the lyics are 'non-existent' or 'a little smutty'

I can honestly say that I've never had that experience.

But I accidentally showed one girl–the first person I knew IRL to get an iPod Mini–that the little record-shaped control on the front was made for you to move your finger along it in a circle. She honestly thought that you were supposed to just go up and down on the button in the middle and that it would "take some getting used to" to not make it jump randomly through her library.

She figured it out when I asked to look at it and started doing it right. I still feel bad for correcting her…it was funnier the other way.

But, no…I've never had that experience. I've actually never done that. I spent my entire childhood fixing stupid computer issues, and I'm just tired of it. I don't have any problem with telling people "you're not smart enough to use an iPod. Give it to your 8 year old; (s)he'll be fine as long as you don't try to help."

It's so damned horrible, I mean really, such a mess.

my zune library is nice and tidy, my traktor one on the other hand...
