Let's kill iTunes

I hate iTunes but it's the only real service of its kind in Canada.
I hate iTunes because it assumes I am a criminal and so every song is encoded with DRM which puts a whole bunch of restrictions on it.
But Meiss, they have the ability to remove the DRM! That's true, but you have to "upgrade" them, which actually entails you paying more for songs just to remove some arbitrary bullshit that they put there in the first place.
Just give me my music, asshole.

so I don't feel like killing it sorry
I'm thinking of using this to buy the Protomen album
should I do this?
Will I have to re-purchase my entire songlist?
it stopped recognizing my old ipod
and when it finally does and i start transferring a song it freezes up and becomes unprocess end-able
which i didn't even know was possible
Damn, that blows. I don't even use iTunes, I get songs from eMusic, which lets you download any song you bought at any time onto any computer you want - but the reason they can do this is because they have NO major labels, so it's all indie stuff.
You're gonna have to pay a fee to remove it yes.
Well
Are you?

That was kind of nifty when I got my Macbook Air
buy the cd
FUCK YES
lock im up
man I get mine on LP
look how hardcore I am
it's like if you went to a drive through, but before you got your burger, you had to pay to make sure it was warm
do not give that man a raise
I wish I owned a vinyl store like in High Fidelity
but I could never have my own Jack Black to work for me
alt. response: I keep my record player in a faraday cage to preserve the acoustics.
anything less is like having boiling shit pumped into my ears
fucking plebs
"hey i lost my files because i had to reboot my computer and i also lost them on my ipod can i have them back since you know that i bought them"
"NO BUY THEM AGAIN"
that's why you backup.
If you said "hey I bought this CD and lost it can I have another" they would laugh at you.
Yeah, let me just jump in my horseless carriage and motor off to the recording spindle shoppe.
So I am down with killing iTunes.
except since giving you back your music digitally costs them nothing at all, there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't be able to download the music you paid money for as many times as you need to
also itunes is pretty much a giant pile of shit. why can't the people who make the ipods and zunes of the world make software that is actually capable of doing the things you need it to do without crashing or filling your computer with peanut butter
its not like that at all though
it's a digital file that they have a record of me having purchased. they even tell you when you click on a file you've downloaded
"YOUVE BOUGHT THIS BEFORE ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT THIS"
if they're not going to let you redownload things you've paid for already they shouldnt even bother keeping track of what you've purchased
No I'm not!
*looks at record player behind him*
shit.
That is seriously fucked up. Then again, I doubt that's Apple's doing - It's the record companies that dictate this shit.
