iTunes still doesn't play nicely with Vista

Beloved iPod-owners beware! You may not be able to sync your music with ease on Microsoft's new operating system, Vista. After several revisions, Apple has released iTunes 7.1 with the hopes that it will correct the majority of known issues. But trouble still awaits for many a user.

Some of the potential problems include corrupting your iPod after removing the hardware from your pc, text or graphics displaying incorrectly and contacts may not sync correctly with Windows Address Book. While some of these are merely annoying, coming from one of the best mp3 players around, some are downright disastrous, especially if you've paid top-dollar for those iTunes downloads.

And finally, your iTunes is still not ready for 64-bit Vista or XP for that matter. For all the bragging that we hear about Macs and their infinite greatness over pcs, I didn't realize they had a "wittle-bit" of trouble processing 64-bit commands. Awwwe.

So, continue to beware of potential pitfalls when syncing your iPod. Until Apple gets it right, and I'm sure they will, Vista-users and their music are vulnerable to instability.
