In the process of replacing my iPod, I've noticed a couple of things "I Don't Like About iTunes and iPod". After my previous rant about iPod reliability, I'm now onto the sloppy programming behind iPod's photo functions.

Couple this with the fact that any decent support those products now have is not included for photos already imported into them. So, here are some notes resulting from some experimentation, along with the Perl code I wrote along the way.
