I do hate how you have to be stuck fukking with ITunes to do anything on this phone.

I just use jailbreak apps and never updated the OS.
They need to abandon that 2001 way of thinking of tethering the device to a computer to change stuff that they had with the original iPods. I should be able to create a smart playlist on my device without the use of a computer. The processing power is there its not like the device is physically incapable of doing so.

There are probably certain people that don't have to ever plug this up to a PC again after the get it set up the way the like it but having that much music on it I have to use smart playlist to manage it so every few days I need to sync it to even get it to update my library on the device.

I agree its stupid. But the android devices I've used feel slow/buggy/complicated in comparison. It could be that I'm just used to iOS so :manny:

:yeshrug: Not sure what you're saying. I can make a playlist on my 4s and add/remove track.

I've probably connected to iTunes like 5 time in the past 2 years. And that was just to update my new apps.

you can't make a smart playlist on the iPhone only a manual one. A smart playlist follows rules you set like this:
rule 1 artist contains 2Pac
rule 2 rating is 3 stars or better
rule 3 play count is > 5

That smart playlist goes through all your music and automatically creates a playlist with those specified rules. If you add more music that meets that criteria it automatically adds those songs to the playlist without you having to do anything. I don't use manual playlist anymore. Once you get thousands of songs on the device it's too tedious to manually make and manage them.

The problem is the iPhone doesn't update the metadata on the device. It only keeps track of the metadata so If I listen to No More Pain by 2Pac then the play count should go up by 1. In order for the smart playlist to actually reflect that I have to plug the iPhone up to a PC and sync it.

So you use a few month old phone more than a two year old phone I can see that.
