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 filling your computer with peanut butter
"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.
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
Wait, what? I thought you can redownload them for free?
iTunes is good at organizing my music collection. And I don't mind buying music from the store, it's pretty cheap and I've never had a problem with their DRM.
Plus the software runs great on my Mac.
So I guess I'm part of the problem then or something?

That is seriously fucked up. Then again, I doubt that's Apple's doing - It's the record companies that dictate this shit.
This is the RIAA, it is NOT Apple. Apple has resisted them a lot and are the ones who finally said "Fuck you, we're going DRM free, deal with it"
This topic is going on because people, Meiss & Kusu for example, yell and bitch without knowing what actually has gone on in.
And I worked for two companies on multimedia players over four years, one of which was VERY CLOSELY related to the iTunes/Apple situation on the iPod. So if you think I'm ill-informed, you're an idiot. 8-)

Or you could just buy the record in a shop.
I bought Beck's "Modern Guilt" on vinyl recently (it is totally killer and you should get it too) and it came with a slip of paper that had instructions for going online to download a digital copy for free. I downloaded and burned it to a cd so I can listen in the car.

Perhaps that's just this label, though.
That would be awesome if it because common practice. No reason not to buy vinyl.

Click on the "Contact Us" button, ask very nicely, and they re-enable all of your downloads.

$14k headphones is a drop in the bucket if you have a $300k record player.

when I have to navigate friend's itunes it's like chopping off six of my fingers and then telling me to play chopsticks.
it's doable, but fuck you, you cut off my fingers.
i love you more than some things
but not everything
it's close, though
I bet I am
