iPhone

Music (in MP3 format, which I've never ran across a song/album that wasn't) bought through Zune software doesn't have DRM protection. And I love the Zune software. I have never even installed itunes but from BBL's descriptions it sounds like they have similar ways to music management.

What you can do easily is add/remove/change the folders it looks for music, but I can't believe that itunes wouldn't do the same.

And BBL, I use an HTC Fuze. Best.Phone.Ever.(IMO, obviously)

From what I've seen..not really. Because it doesn't actively look for music in your folders. It's a one time import into iTunes. If you then want to remove those folders from iTunes, you have to find the actual media in iTunes and remove them.

And if you want to add new music, you have to re-import the folder again.

Now maybe I'm just new to iTunes and don't understand the best way to use it. But in my research I have found third party apps that are used to scan your specified music folders and update your iTunes library for any new or deleted files. If iTunes did that itself I doubt these apps would exist.

Have to be honest here - i really can't confirm or deny this. As i said, i just rip my CDs using iTunes, so of course they're moved right into iTunes when I rip it.

The few times i've gotten an mp3 elsewhere, i'm pretty sure it has been moved into iTunes with no issues. They're in there and i don't remember it being a difficult process.

U2, i have seen the HTC fuze. Looks like a sweet phone, but a little thick. My father-in-law has one though, and it has been super buggy. Even his replacement one is, although to a lesser degree. Maybe he just got 2 bad ones in a row.

Do you use a belt clip? I hate 'em so I need a thinner phone like an iPhone because they never leave my pocket unless being used.
