Apple to Launch Music Service?

I have a service called Kazaa that costs 0 cents a song and lets you burn a CD. I like that better.

  Seeing how no P2P services work well on Macs (why is that, anyway?) $.99 a song beats using the shit software that is available, really.

BUt what about those of us that buy $12 CDs with 20 good tracks? (IE, Hendrix, SRV, Led Zep, etc)

Why do they do this? by dirbinhas · 2003-03-04 06:55 · Score: 0, Flamebait

Apple seems to come up with pretty good ideas, then make them worthless to me by forcing me to buy their hardware.

Saudi Arabia, eh? What for, despite the fact that they're a monarchy and have allegations that they supported the 9/11 hijackers? Interestingly enough, Muslims worldwide hate the Saudi government, it's corrupt.
