For me, I just hate having two copies of everything, one on my external drive and another in the ITunes folders. I know I can set ITunes to not copy over files when adding to the ITunes Library: however, every single time I tried this, ITunes crashed. While I do prefer the new look of ITunes, (the radio buttons work better for me than the sidebar and tables ever did.) still and all, IF you've got a huge library of stuff, it gets cumbersum to have to check individual stuff to add to or take from your Iphone. That's where Wondershare Mobilego for IOS really comes to the rescue for me. The fact is this. I think Apple really could have done a better job with the way ITunes functions. I think it's very much against what used to be the Apple policy of not making assumptions about what you want and the way you want it. ITunes seems to go very much the other way for me.
