I also use the free SlimServer software and Squeezeboxes, along with SoftSqueeze (also free) for playback on other computers. I serve about 25,000 legal tracks off an old Mac G4 Cube, with a scheduled nightly backup to an external drive connected via Firewire.
I've been a SlimDevices user since the very first SliMP3 player came out and have yet to find a better end to end answer for managing my collection.
That's Howard Dean's old organization - an offshoot of his presidential campaign that used meetups early on. They'll be picking up the tab for Meetups of their DFA groups for a while. But I expect someone will come up with a CC version of the 'meetup' structure... you can't patent a gathering of like-minded people can you?
If that's the model, then I guess it's OK, since they won't 'lose' any money.
But I wonder how much of a market there can be for a non-dedicated service like this, selling multiple parties music with zero promotion or marketing. eBay is not a 'department store' like amazon - it's more of a 'garage sale' or maybe a 'swap meet' (and DRM'd music isn't exactly like stolen cassette tapes or CDs)*
*anyone who's ever been to the Rose Bowl Swap Meet knows what I'm talking about.
If this is their best idea for how to grow the business, I'm worried. iTunes Music Store had a 'small profit' last quarter - but it really exists to sell iPods - what equivalent business model does eBay intend to use, or for that matter , what better model do they intend to use?

That's funny. Calling the poster a troll just shows ignorance.
At least internally at Apple, someone has been thinking about this stuff. In OSX, control-click on iTunes, from the pop-up menu select 'Show package contents' - open 'Contents' folder - open 'Resources' folder. See the iTunes-ogg.icns file? And the iTunes-wma.icns file? Somebody has created the icons for those types of files... why would they do that?
A favorite pasttime of us local So Cal kids was to save up a big loogie for the end of the ride - the nucleus, and spit on it - the light inside it was so hot, it would sizzle. Many times we'd arrive there, see a bunch of steaming spit stains on it and laugh so hard we'd swallow a ride's worth of hockable lungh butter.
They work for everything form camping gear to tools, to extra cables. Plus you can easily see what's inside without having to move a pile of cardboard boxes, open them and then kick yourself for not writing the contents on the outside with a black magic marker.
...another writer claims LINPACK DOES stress latency and bandwidth, so one of you guys has it wrong. The point is, they have a fast supercomputer, TODAY, for under 5 million. And 5% efficiency? Uh, let's wait til they run some actual code before guesstimating.
Maybe Napster is trying to work a deal with McDs? I mean, Apple hasn't totally cornered the market yet - maybe some of the other companies that scrambled to copy the iTMS are scrambling to copy the promotional deal, only by a factor of ten.

5 years of the 'official' release? Cause my stat page says: Registered on: Sat May 15 18:20:16 1999 UTC SETI@home user for: 5.022 years
I really hope someone's working on it.
Is emulating dead hardware on dead hardware a crime? Oh, I hope not.
SCO owns the patent on beer goggles. They just filed a lawsuit against your post.

Isn't Skynet supposed to eliminate most of mankind? If Superflu takes us out, who will build all the shiny T-800's?

Hopefully they can remote install en masse.
Clearly everyone here likes talking about Macs, but few use them.
