iTunes drives me crazy

I don't really know how to fix it but OMG YES THIS ANNOYS THE BEEPING BEEP OUT OF ME

I organise things how I want them you know.... in folders and stuff... because thats the way computers work! I don't need a program to sort my shit in a different way that I don't want IT IS NOT DOING ME ANY FAVOURS STOP IT.
