Usability is a technical merit, the one that matters most!
I can't believe I can't pick the songs I want to upgrade to iTunes plus ! All or nothing!
I have tons of songs purchased on iTunes... when the previous label went DRM-free, I could choose which ones to upgrade and what not.
This is not the case anymore, it's all or nothing, all upfront. I have LOTS of iTunes songs, so upgrading all would be VERY expensive.
Some of them I listen continuously and they could user the higher bitrate, some other I never listen or are fine at 128k AAC.
There's no other word: this SUCKS!
>Bohooo! Bitch to Blizzard, they are the ones who didn't port their games to non-windows OSs.
Well, not really they just don't port to linux.
They've always been great with the mac, releasing mac version the same day (and often on the same cd!).
And they've been wonderful for long term support: I'm currently installing Starcraft on my mac under OS X.5. This game was released TEN years ago, for Mac OS 7, but blizzard took the pain to provide the patches for continued compatibility.

Exact same feature is found on Lotus Notes, dating back at least to Notes 5...
Don't they check anything ?
Heck, isn't the Notes guy now in charge of something in M$
And M$ says to dev, please install IE7 Beta and test your pages... except that if I do that, it kills IE6, and I can't check my pages as they'll be seen by 90% of visitors...
hum, I'm quited tempted to say it's very much the other way around...
Here in france we have 20 Mb/s for 30/month...
To get back on topic, I tried to upgrade some Warez Xp to SP2 but couldn't...
I'm now a happy mac user :
There is a real but small market for printed lyrics & score/tabs in nice books, sure. But seriously, would you spend hours to find/print the one from the web, or buy a nice book withotu any mistake, and a nice layout?
I don't remeber having heard anyone publish a study about declining publish lyrics sales...
They're just over greedy. As somebody else said, most people who look up lyrics online end up BUYING the damned record.
And is there ANY legal site where you could purchase and downlaod lyrics and tabs ???
Personally, I think lyrics should be included in the file when you buy a song from the ITMS or other. WOuldn't it be could to have the possibility to see the lyrics displayed while playing?
I'm just sick of thos RIAA idiots... and I'm gonna backup my dear pearlyric widget ! Unfortunatly, I only have v0.4, if somebody has the latest, please share!

The "new" quicktab feature is nothing more than a copy of the Firefox Viewmatic Foxposé...
