It's on my PhotoShop/Graphics "workstation", a G3 beige "Desktop" I rescued from the trash pickup over in Cambridge (MA) some years ago. I would have left it, but I noticed the "Powered by Sonnett" sticker on the front. The owner pulled the original 266 Mhz G3 CPU and replaced it with a 500 Mhz G4.
OS 9 blazes on this Mac, as does Photoshop, Graphic Converter and the other applications I use for my modest graphic editing needs.
I mainly use SoundJam for its streaming audio feature while I'm working on that Mac.
"Okay, move the goal post, it won't make a difference."
I repeated what I stated the first time. If you call that moving the goalpost, there that cognition issue of yours acting up again.
"I can copy the contents of my player to my phone, another computer, or make backups onto a dvd, or, or, or."
As can I. In fact, I can eliminate the whole player aspect and do it all in iTunes. Or just navigate to, and copy/move/burn, any and all items in the folders where the originals are kept. Actually, I just click on the aliases of those folders I have on the desktop to get at the files.
"I buy an album of MP3 songs from Amazon. I drag and drop the folder onto the device icon. The songs are copied to the generic device. Again, seamless to the generic player."
iTunes automatically syncs the new files (music, audiobooks, video, what have you) to the iPod/Phone/Pad when the device is connected, either via the included USB to connector cable or when dropped into the cradle.
All I have to do is drop the folder onto the iTunes icon and walk away, knowing that when I drop the iWhatever into its cradle, the transfer is automatic.
If you call that 'Apple holding my hand', you have some cognitive issues that need addressing.
I should add, just because I am a bit OCD that way, I also moved all my music from SoundJam MP on a System 7 PPC Mac TO the 5500/225, running OS8 (and eventually OS9.2.1 (thank you, OS 9 Helper)) and on that Mac, moved the SoundJam MP library to iTunes.
I can't number the times I moved iTunes from OS 8 to OS 9 to OS X, from a 5500/225 to a G3 B&W, to a G4 MDD, to the current G5 dual processor. Can't number the number of hard drives I migrated all my apps and data between OS reinstalls or updates.
I can, however, number all the times I lost the content on the iPod:
0. That's ZERO. The big Goose Egg.
Sorry about your fuckup. Sucks to be you. Next time, read the instructions and don't click OK on every popup without reading and understanding what you are about to do.
This has been another in the series, "Simple Answers to Simple Questions posed by Simpletons."
Let me make this simple for you, South Park Turd Fan.
YOU are not the target audience for Apple's iPhone/iPad.
YOU have never been the target audience for Apple's iPhone/iPad.
YOU will never be the target audience for Apple's iPhone/iPad.
The target audience are people that want things to work without a whole lot of hassle for them.
iTunes Store. Click, I buy a song. I drop the iPod or iPhone or iPad in it's cradle. SYNC!
Seamless from that mouse click to listening on the iPhone/Pod/Pad.
I buy an album of MP3 songs from Amazon. I drag and drop the folder onto the iTunes icon. The songs are copied to iTunes. Again, seamless to the iDevice.
People want a pleasant experience. Apple provides that.
And they don't care a fat rat's ass about openess. They care about Angry Birds. They care about the phone working when they need it. They care about the iPad bringing up the day's TV listings.
Apple doesn't care about YOU. YOU, as has been mentioned, are not their target audience.
Do you own any Apple/iDevices? If no, GTFO. If yes, STFU, you KNEW what you were getting into when you laid down the plastic at the Apple Store or Amazon.
"A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury and signifying nothing."
"owning their own data"? "openess"?
Really WTF are you going on about?
Has Evil Steve Jobs sent his Apple Ninjas to steal your harddrrives again? Did you catch your Time Machine drive phoning The Great Mothership in Cupertino?
"Comparing installing Linux with installing Windows is like comparing driving a modern car with a model-T hand cranked Ford (Windows is the model T). People only think Windows is easy because they've used it all their lives. Those of us that cut our teeth on DOS (or even earlier machines, like a Sinclair or an Apple II or a Commodore) know better."
I used a C=64 with the CP/M module for a few years because, well, CP/M.
And yes, having sat through Windows installs and OS X installs, I much prefer OS X. Also, stickers in the OS X box!
Windows ain't easy, compared to just about anything else. Well, maybe it's easier than CP/M on the Altair 8800. All that toggle flipping after turning the box on. (and we LIKED IT!)
By publicly implying on a notorious "hacker" website, that you may have seen The Hurt Locker, you will shortly be sued for illegally downloading, copying and distributing the aforementioned motion picture, because, Internet!
Sorry, as far as I'm concerned, abortion is more parasite control than anything else.
And your comment would have more relevance if the State was actively involved in providing abortion services, as in govt run family planning clinics with federal employees performing the procedures.
That's not a bad idea, actually. That would make any attempts on the life of an abortion provider a major federal offense, rather than a local state offense.
"Any guess on what his Skype ID would have been? I'm thinking "IAMACONGRESSPERV""
Actually, that's the ID of "Diaper" David Vitter (R. Louisiana), Senator and Lawbreaker (Soliciting a Prostitute) in both his home state and Washington, D.C.

I still have SoundJam running, by the way.

I guess so, I know that I can sync while using the web and talking on the phone and downloading Torrents/USENET.
Of course, the phone I'm using is this one on my desk.
Vista warned you when you were about to erase everything on your iPod?
Sweet!
"I've heard of this old fashioned wires thing from my grandpa. It's still in use today? Awesome."
Yes, Yes, it is. Fast, secure, error-free data transfer, even when the microwave oven on the other side of the wall is cooking something.
Plus, battery recharge as the transfer is taking place.

I see what you did there.
Kudos.
Yes, actually.
If you can't be bothered to proofread what you just wrote, we certainly CAN be bothered to mock you unmercifully.
The Internet is no place for the weak, the stupid, or the inattentive.

Yes. Yes, it does. IF you read and comprehend what the text in the dialog boxes are trying to tell you.

Didn't drop a bit during the move to iTunes.
Sucks to be you.

So don't buy an iDevice.

"He'll win, easily."
Would you care to place a substantial wager on that outcome ?
"Kiss The Shiny, Shiny Boots Of Leather" is a Lou Reed song, not a State mandate for civilian interaction with the police.

Steve hates Apple Stickers.
No DVD, no Apple Stickers.
Apple is abandoning one of it's oldest, most beloved tradition.
It's the end of an era.
Oh, Snap!

Without the death penalty, there can be no innocent person murdered by the State.

Larry Craig's ID is "TOILETAPDANCER" and Mark Foley's is "NAKEDBOYPAGEFAN".
Hope this helps!

See: The Declaration of Independence for a list of complaints that resulted in the American Revolution.
Are you Michelle Bachmann, by any chance?
BMO, just look at his sig. Everything you need to know about DigiShaman is in that sig,
OF COURSE he thinks NYC is a dangerous pesthole, full of dangerous criminals.
They just wanted to get the free t-shirt,
That's something to consider. As long as it'll work well with VM, it sounds like a good idea.
Thanks for the tip. I appreciate it!
