Windows Program Enables MP3 Downloading From iTunes

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the not-just-for-macs-anymore dept.

Joey Patterson writes "CNET reports that an independent software developer has released a program called MyTunes that allows people to share and download each other's MP3s on a network via iTunes." This is very much like a Mac program I saw a while back called itunesdl, which allowed one to download MP3s from friends who were sharing their playlists, exactly as MyTunes claims to do.

    Are we going to start posting stories about everyone that looks at a protocol and creates a client or server based on it? Sheesh...

    There are tons of Bit Torrent clients out there... why not post a headline about Shadow's bit torrent client, that allows you to share files between PC's... No really... why the hell not?

    Oh, that's right.. cuz there is no way to make it sound like some DRM based service was hacked... With some fancy headline manipulation no less.... Read the article, then read the headline... Seriously... WTF???

    All this guy did was use (not exploit, that's key...) the existing protocol to share MP3's between ITunes clients... You can do this anyway... he made a pretty interface... But the headline makes it sound like he hacked the DRM and created the next napster or some shit...

    By reading this sig, you agree to be bound by all terms and conditions I choose

    I'm sorry but this sig is not enforceable in any court. A party cannot be tricked into any contract under any means other than his/her free will to contract. All contracts under these circumstances are void. :>

    I heard Michael Sims was fired. He sure hasn't posted in a fucking long time.

    Could it be true?

    Anybody have success with iTunes and Wine? I keep getting stuck at 'unable to create folder .... inside of ...." referencing the Music folder creation. SHouldn't be a problem - installed in a windows partition and used same registry to run under Wine. Anyone?
