Always properly tag your music

2. Fuck iTunes, and iPods.

DK, you just went up like twelve points in my book. I'm nearly as anal as you about tagging my music (I always go Artist - Album - Disc - Track - Song, as I find tagging things with track number first leads to massive confusion when organizing by filename) and I cannot stand iTunes, iPods or anything else Apple. I own a Creative Zen Vision:M mp3 player and love it. 30 gigs, the thing is a workhorse - it's lasted me for 3.5 years of at least 7 hours per workday of constant use. I've dropped the thing a million times and still haven't had any problems with it, although the top section is separated a bit from the bottom section.

I'm pretty sure that post also deserves to be in the Things That Make You Embarrased to be Human thread as as well.
(Except that that thread got really depressing and serious, so that would kinda not fit. Oh well.)

There's a 'Composer' tag for a reason, you know. The Artist tag should be the performer.
Most last.fm people disagree but those people are less fun to be around than I am so they are wrong. Their approach is to tag the composer in the "Artist" field and the artist in "some other field". I mean that's theoretically ok (ignoring the fact that there is a perfectly good ID3 tag called 'Composer') because you still retain all the information, but the biggest issue is the fact that I do not want to have to retag 3000 tracks just because last.fm doesn't work the way it should.
So yeah, put the composer's name in the Composer tag, and the artist's name in the Artist tag. Pretty self-evident really.
