iTunes One Year Anniversary Sparks Comparison
An anonymous reader writes "CNet News is running a story about the upcoming one year anniversary of Apple's iTunes service. It gives a pretty good summary of the year in online music, with a nice chart comparing each service's user base now and then. The most interesting quote in the article is from a record executive stressing that the industry is quietly hoping that the online music stores will start selling songs in compatible formats. As a sidenote, the headline story at the beginning is based off this page."
Congratulations iTunes! May the fireworks hail more good times, and less powerbooks that have batteries that explode on their users.
Is it true that you are only able to play downloaded "iTunes" on specific Apple music players?

its OK and ontopic (according to the moderators) to trash Microsoft and their software in an Apple story, but when it comes to cricizing Apple, its a no-no.
How is this for censorship and hypocrisy?
Leave it to a moderator to "Troll" a soviet russia post.
I agree with the parent. Unfortunately, the meaning of "anniversary" has been perverted in the colloquial to mean "passage of an integer number of arbitrary time units". We can thank all the teenaged girls who want to celebrate their "three week anniversary" dating the captain of the football team until he dumps their sorry asses. There are few things that annoy me more than this usage.(*)
(*)Things that annoy me more:
(1) The interchangeable use of "their", "there", and "they're"; "your" and "you're", and "its" and "it's".
(2) Not having been captain of the football team so that I could have had an unlimited supply of easy girls in high school.(**)
(**) Then again, it is almost a universal rule that the people who were popular in high school ended up being losers, and the people who actually do interesting things were the nerds in high school. The problem of peaking too early.(***)
(***)Mod away!

Not really... I'm on a weak little laptop running XP and it was fine... using firefox at least. dunno what would happen if i used internet explorer.
Not a problem. Do as I did. "Hor" your services at the local college tit bar, or take a job at the local "non-profit" bookstore and skim from the register.
Loans were paid. Hacked the college server and upped my grade. Made big bucks at work setting up a SCSI RAID. I Hired a Maid. Threatened to fire her if I not get laid. We screw by the tree in the shade. Moved to a county in Miami, called Dade. From my beachhouse, I can watch the sunset fade.
What's your worries mate? Switch to Dr. Pepper and you will see the light.
Did you know that if you eat the entire Apple, including it's seeds, you can take a shit in the backyard the next day and grow a tree?
Yea. Russians. Legal.
Hey, pass whatever you're smoking. Then give me your ATM PIN number so I can score some vodka.
