iTunes deletes genius data on startup

I'm runnung Itunes 11.1.2 on Windows Vista and syncing with an iPod, iPad, and iPhone. Each time I start iTunes its like it was the first time - agree to the licence agreement, watch the video, but worst of all, it deletes all Genius data and turns off iTunes Match. I then have to login in to the iTunes Store and turm Match and Genius back on and wait while it re-adds the same computer each and every time. With 720 albums and over 9000 songs this can take awhile.

iPod touch, Windows Vista

My script ConsolidateByMovingLong can reorganize your media with long file & folder names, but you need to turn off the "Keep organized" feature and apply to new downloads or imports as and when.

Duplicating tends to happen if you repeatedly import folders to the library that are located outside the media folder with the "Copy to media folder" option enabled.

You might also find iTunes Folder Watch useful.

iTunes Folder Watch doesn't specifically support iTunes 11 (possibly for the same reason iTLU doesn't either). Now that iTunes has "organized" all my media with truncated names, I no longer need anything to do it without the truncation unless for some reason I'm forced to start over. Thanks.
