Napster has done well, but is still selling less songs than iTunes according to the numbers. Also, iTunes has iPod, whatcha talking about? That's the best MP3 player and it's obviously endoring iTunes, because Apple makes it.

Ipod? are you kidding me... I don't even know what to say to that... Basically Ipod is one of the worst and theres a lot of other options available that are better than it. unless you are using a mac there is no reason at all to use itunes and an ipod because almost everything else is better

Ipod interface is just... wacked out and it only comes in one color... white....heh

not my fault that you run linux... it doesn't make you cooler, any idiot with a brain can run linux

If you prefer a lesser product produced by the worst computer company that is great basically there is no where else for this discussion to go

I'm not sure... take a look.

Yeah, I looked as well after I posted this morning. I came to the same assumption that it's only customizable for Macs (so far ). And it seems like the links that do talk about skins use 3rd Party software to skin so I assuming it is just a matter of time before some uber nerd makes my week and creates a similar utility for the pc.

Wasn't saying that linux makes me cooler. I just have a linux box to run some radio servers. And don't get into a discussion about computers companies ESPECIALLY if you are siding with Microsoft and even worse that you said it after posts about both Linux and Apple. You're again making generalizations and judgements on topics you know little about.

ahahha u think i know little about computers... now thats a laugh

DJ_Jester · 02-28-2004, 02:11 PM

After those past few posts... I think it's obvious.

Edgil · 02-29-2004, 04:23 AM

haha oh boy thats a laugh

i still cant get over the fact that ipod cant play WMAs and u think its good... oh well life goes on

Rockafella Skank · 02-29-2004, 11:28 AM

You can convert WMAs to MP3s, so it's not a big deal at all. And there are way more MP3s than WMAs.

It is a laugh. How can you believe that Apple is one of the worst companies.. especially in this conversation. Apple is probably the leader in the arena of audio and visual media. If you go to arts school most schools use Macs. Pixar, one of the hottest new visual media companies, uses Macs in their productions and Apple is always endorsed by a multitude of musical artists in their commercials. Gates may have business applications but when it comes to entertainment media, Apple definitely has the market. And even outside that, Apple has made such a name for itself that you can't call it the worst computer companies. And if that doesn't prove the point there is nothing else to say and no need to respond to factless arguments.

As for conversion, yeah you can convert but you need plugin's you have to find and all so it turns into a pain. Which is one gripe about MS. Always trying to make a monopoly over things.
