ITunes creating playlist automatically whrn importing music

Question

Itunes 10.4 in two computers (OSX and Windows XP) creates playlists when importing folders into the library, and autoplays them. Never happened before. ¿Any solution?

Answer 1

I did find a workaround. Itunes Folder Watch.will add folders without playlists. I deleted all the items and unwanted playlists in my itunes library, closed itunes, deleted the shortcuts to itunes and replaced them with shortcuts to itunes Folder Watch. Then I started up itunesFolder Watch, which reopens itunes.  I selected my media folder and then Folder Watch made a list of the items under "new tracks", I clicked "add tracks to itunes" and added all the items. It took a long time, but now it only takes a minute to check for new tracks. There is a bug where it keeps thinking that about a dozen John Haitt albums are new tracks even though though they have already been loaded. Other than that, it solves the problem.
When I hear that Steve Jobs was very demanding and had to make his programmers go back to the drawing board over and over again, I wonder if it was because his programmers did such a lousy job they deserved to be yelled at or if they actually did it right the first time but Steve Jobs had no idea what he was putting the users thru as he kept telling them to add brilliant ideas that didn't make any sense in the real world. Some how I don't think its the programmers fault. It isn't just itunes. I always find these weird problems whenever I get desparate enough to use apple products. For example, I haven't been able to figure out how to listen to podcasts on an mp3 player without using apple, and there is no way to get it to play a list of podcasts. It only plays them 1 at time. I spent hours on the phone with Apple and the only thing they could tell me was to make a movie of the podcasts everytime there is a new podcast, which is a royal pain in the ***. I am not going to do it. The very idea is absurd.
I'm absolutely sure there is no technical reason why these things can't be done, so it seems like there must be some reason why it makes more money for apple to do it completely the wrong way, users be damned, You know, like any Microsoft Product.  So when I read in the media how Apple made gadgets easy to use, I don't understand how that could be true.  Gadgets are generally NOT easy to use and there is no reason for it.They could easily be easy to use but the people in management have no imagination and the programmers got tired of explaining to them how their instructions don't make any sense and just gave up even trying to make itunes easy to use. I don't know a whole lot about Apple so I could easily be wrong about all that, but thats my guess.
