I would recommend 1 Mac and 1 iOS machine if you have a big music 
library and lots of apps. That works quite well most of the time.

But since I try to use my library on all my computers, and I've 
got a bucketload of apps that float around between my machines (2 
PC's and 3 or 4 macs and a couple of iOS thingies), it's become 
sort of messy. And although I can work with it, it's certainly 
not comfortable. I guess I'm a bit of a chaotic person, 
administration wise :-/

Actually, there's just too many times "it just won't work", for 
example syncing my daily podcasts. Quite often it just won't 
work, or I get only half of them. Or there's some message that 
there's something wrong (Vista and W7). That kind of stuff.

So I don't exactly know what it is, but iTunes and QuickTime (I 
always use VLC, btw) have never been really nice to me.

Cheers,
