Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 Looks a lot like a Mac interface. Brushed steel window with Aqua-style buttons. A lot of people will bitch and moan about how it organizes music. If you aren't careful, it'll make various folders by Artist/Album for your music. Those of us who chuck all our MP3s into one gigantic folder will be pissed to find things changed unless they BE CAREFUL. Registered a Music Store account but haven't decided what I'll buy for kicks.

Steviekick 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 I use iTunes on the Mac. If your worried about it messing up your MP3 folders and such, I know on my version there's a preference as to whether it moves the files and such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't use iTunes for purchasing music...I'm using the previous version without the store option. At home I use Macs and it's the best Mp3 player/library software.

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2003 You're paying for digital music? Has the RIAA brainwashed you? I want to! I'm a quality nut, and these sound quite good. I also don't like risking lawsuits, no matter how unlikely they are to happen to me. Also, I don't mind supporting the actual artists. These are a cheaper than the CD copies in most cases, which makes me think a lot of the label bloat has been cut out. But, since I don't have infinite funds, I'll just buy whatever I have a hard time getting on Kazaa (many times a song will have 300 people sharing but it turns out the song is scrambled or has a fucking Windows system beep in it and appearantly nobody cares to get rid of it and get a real copy.) I'm not going to search to the ends of the earth for proper copies of music if I don't have to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2003 I have a Nomad Jukebox and I have a relatively simple name system for my music. I've got about 70+ albums on it and 2100 songs total. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbacon 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2003 Paying for digital music (in non CD form) is ridiculous. Might as well just buy the album Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2003 The only major label that has promised to keep it's new releases at $10 or less like iTunes does is Universal. Otherwise, buying the CD can get very expesnive. Did I mention that you can make as many CDs of these tracks as you want? I guess if you're fine with your 96-128K songs with mondo distortion and system beeps in them, then go on ahead. Damn commies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
