This is great for people like me with too large of a music library to sync it all with the iPhone, and who don\u2019t really use playlists (the main way to sync music to the iPhone). Unfortunately, if you click this \u201cAutomatically fill free space\u201d option, it seems that sometimes it wants to remove and replace much of the random music. If you have a 32 GB iPhone, that is going to take a while. &#8230;<\/em>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Posts by MG Siegler\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.techcrunch.com\/author\/mg\/\">Siegler<\/a> goes on saying that even with this option turned off, it still takes too long.\u00a0 Around 5 min.\u00a0 If its taking him 5 min, then odds are my sync will be 10.\u00a0\u00a0 I was holding off on iTunes9 for the same reason I hold off on every iphone\/iTunes update.\u00a0 Just to make sure I would not regret my decision.\u00a0\u00a0 Seems like that caution is appropriate in this case.<\/p>\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H3>Related Posts<\/H3><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"iOS 8.0.1 May Have A Link To Apple Maps Fail From 2012\" href=\"https:\/\/www.perivision.net\/wordpress\/2014\/09\/ios-8-0-1-may-have-a-link-to-apple-maps-fail-from-2012\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">iOS 8.0.1 May Have A Link To Apple Maps Fail From 2012<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"A Super computer DID NOT pass the Turing test, point by point reasons why.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.perivision.net\/wordpress\/2014\/06\/a-super-computer-did-not-pass-the-turing-test-point-by-point-reason-why\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">A Super computer DID NOT pass the Turing test, point by point reasons why.<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Make a good product, have a great advert, but poor business decisions can kill you\" href=\"https:\/\/www.perivision.net\/wordpress\/2013\/10\/make-a-good-product-have-a-great-advert-but-poor-business-decisions-can-kill-you\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Make a good product, have a great advert, but poor business decisions can kill you<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"EA to offer SimCity offline mode.
