iMesh

I have heard much controversy over iMesh, and I decided to see for myself if this program is really worth it. For those of you unfamiliar with iMesh, iMesh is a free program you can download for free and get free music for your iPod and mp3 players. It claims to be completely free and legal. I downloaded the most current version and set it up following the instructions, even making sure to plug in my iPod before opening iMesh so it would detect my iPod.
When I opened iMesh, I found that it was alot like iTunes, with tabs such as, "Most Popular," "Store," and "Recent Downloads." Like iTunes, I was required to set up an account, using my email address. I started by downloading something simple, an album by one of my favorite artists, Paramore. I found the album quickly in iMesh's store and it downloaded in under a minute. When the download was complete, and iwent to my "Recent Downloads" and found it there.
That's when I noticed that iMesh was not detecting my device, and 4th generation ipod Touch. I tried to drag the files to my iTunes library, like I often do with mp3 files, but it wasn't working. So I went on the internet to search for some troubleshooting tips. That's when, instead of seeing my Road Runner homescreen, I was greeted with iMesh's "Searchbar." I soon learned that iMesh was not compatible with iPod Touch.
That made me furious. I mean, the iPod Touch is one of the most popular mp3 (correction: mp4) players there is. How can an application advertise that they are compatible with iPod, yet not include iPod Touch? I deleted iMesh and managed to get rid of iMesh's searchbar.
To sum it up: DO NOT GET IMESH.
