iTunes sucks donky dick. I have an iRiver and it kicks ass because I can subscribe to Napster or any number of other music services and they are all compatible with my MP3 player... The only one compatable with iPod is iTunes, that just sucks.
Napster kicks iTunes ass anyway, I can download all the music that I want to my iRiver and not pay a penny over the monthly fee, only way I have to buy the music is if I want to burn it to CD... And with as much music as I like to get it is definately worth the fee's they charge, and it's definately worth having a MP3 player that is compatible with said service.
Apple is doing the same thing Sony did with the minidisk, you have to use their software to do anything, nothing else will work. I dont like iTunes or their iPod format, so I will never own an iPod.
Umm, NO AGAIN. The I stands for Inexpensive, why is this you might ask? It has NOTHING, i repeat *NOTHING* do do with the price of the stupid disk, it could cost $1,000 and still be inexpensive compared to the data lost if you DONT have a RAID array! Your talking a few hundred extra dollers of INEXPENSIVE equipment to save thousands or millions of dollers worth of data depending on what you store on that system.
This is why your an idiot if you dont have RAID setup in any desktop computer, the disks are inexpensive (as noted in the name RAID) and trusting your files to anything that spins at 7200+ RPM with tiny little moving parts w/ less then a hair tolorance is just stupid. Need the speed? RAID 5. I learned my lesson long ago, have not stored important files on a non raided computer for years, it's already saved my ass once at home, many times at work.
