Screw you, iTunes

Shall I start with small talk about the weather?
We've had a ton of snow, and today there is a blizzard warning and another foot or so expected. This is exciting because not only are there no mountains to ski down, but we have been having power outages, cable outages and combinations of the two. At least we have not yet suffered an alcohol outage.
I powered on my computer with the intention of listening to music, but iTunes had another plan. Once, it had copied my entire music library again, so that I had thousands of duplicate songs. Without any method to auto-select and delete, I was left with thousands of mouse clicks in order to correct the error. Mr. Jobs will be receiving a bill for the treatment of the resultant carpal tunnel problems.
This time though, iTunes has failed to locate any of my songs. Yes, it has mysteriously forgotten the little electronic pathway that lets it find each file. On its own volition.
So now I'm faced with "locating" each song individually.
Perhaps iTunes was feeling neglected, and wanted me to spend some quality time with it. Or, more likely, iTunes was carelessly designed by people who would rather see me spend 99 cents to purchase songs through their system than to actually ever get to listen to any music.
In closing, iTunes: Screw you.
