I like the iPod Touch I have. I’m comfortable with it. I haven’t run out of space for music yet. I want to throw iTunes through a wall until the wall breaks. Suggestions for an alternative? I have my entire library on my hard drive – OF COURSE – and not this iCloud cra.. ah, stuff… so I don’t have to worry about that particular problem. I need something I can install on the iPod that will copy over music files from my PC. As long as it works, I don’t care about a bunch of extra stuff that I never use anyway.

Apple keeps messing with their bread and butter music .. the new music player for iPhone 6 is just awful compared to the one on the 4s.. and not just because it keeps trying to use cell data to stream music off their servers when it’s already, as you say, on my hard drive.

Ranting done.

It sounds like you want iExplorer from Macroplant.

Have you considered checking in at an Apple Store and seeing what advice they have to keep everything lined up the way you want?
(that’s where they *very quietly* told me about iExplorer .. )

If you’re looking for filler that’s easy to comment on, The Dragon winners were just announced. http://awards.dragoncon.org/winners/

(Curses! If your favorite hadn’t beat out Turtledove, I’d have had a perfect bracket!)

Congratulations to all the winners, of course. And to the losers as well. This is the first contest in a long time when I’ve looked at a list and thought nearly everything was worthy of being considered.
OK, not quite. I didn’t vote for comic book or board game, nor did I vote for Game of Thrones in TV.
I probably should read Correia’s fantasy book, then. I also wouldn’t mind seeing the nominee lists.
List here: http://www.newsarama.com/30641-first-annual-dragon-con-awards-nominees.html
(Yes, I’m lazy enough to send a link, rather than try and format a list for this site.)

Go read it. It’s good. Very good.
I can’t tell you much about it without spoilers, and I’m fighting the urge to gush. Go read it.
Yes. He already shown that he can do books without guns with the Iron Kingdoms novels (ok they have gun mage, but for the most part, the main characters are grunts), and this is much much better. Son of the Black Sword also take place in an milieu that’s not usual fare (South India).
Imagine a fantasy India with magic. Now imagine it without religion, with good reason.
OK, you two, I just ordered the paperback. 🙂
You should also try out Somewhither by John C. Wright. It’s a multiverse story that’s a wee bit different. Sort of a Boy Adventure story with different universe at war with each other (not infinite, but a real set number of universe). Imagine a world where most everything is governed by knowable destination and they have a huge bureaucracy to keep track of everything important.
