This is how my iTunes looks like after the change!!!4000+ songs gone!!
200+ videos gone!!
My radio links gone!!
Every playlist gone!! (I had a lot of playlist, for different moods and purposes)
I had a backup playlist saved, but I just don't know what happened. I couldn't restore them. The only things that I could restore was my iTouch applications and podcasts. The rest...... GONE!!
I had to MANUALLY add all the songs and videos back into my iTunes and putting it into its respectful playlist, setting up my Genius playlist & iTunes store etc... And... when I wanted to sync my iPod, it recognizes my new iTunes as a different iTunes player, so my iPod had to erase everything and then sync with the new one. It took me almost 2 hours to put everything back to how it was before, complete with album artwork. The only good that I get was that iTunes automatically search and download all the album artwork that I don't have.
Stupid iTunes!!! Don't get me wrong, I do love iTunes. I've used iTunes for 5 years. So peeps, here's a lesson learned.
DO NOT SIMPLY CHANGE YOUR iTUNES VERSION!
It's so tedious to restore them back again. And it's not worth it, there are not much changes anyway.

well, after using iTunes for, yea, more or less, around 5 yrs, i still DO NOT love iTunes. it makes yo life difficult; it doesnt play all types of song formats, it converts them, thus requiring more disc space; it requires u to have a pc/laptop to sync yo music from, thus requiring an iTunes installed in it; it nudges you when u attach yo ipod to another pc, thus an 'unknown' iTunes;

ok, dont let me go on, i can go on. :P
.
and last but not least, seems like it freaking makes you go crazy for losing every single playlists and settings watsoever that u have had, EVER SINCE 5YRS AGO (ok, i might have exaggerated that a little bit too much too.lol) jz because u update it??
.
though i have to say, having been obeying iTunes (for years) for making me to download the latest version (and downloading quite freaking big files too) has never precipitated that.

ok. i gotta go. tutes. haha. so random. ok, u take care. :)
dora's right. iTunes is complicated. that's y i've don't have anything that isn't mp3 file. if i have, i'll just convert everything to mp3 before putting into iTunes, and delete the original file. i ingat lg ble bru2 gune itunes. it was so difficult. but now since it's been 5 years, i got used to it.
