went to see The Longest Yard at the drive-in tonight. very funny movie. check it out.
i was a newly addicted iTunes user last night, but now I am an even newer pissed off iTunes addict.
they roped me in easily with an exclusive Billy Corgan track. $0.99 and it was mine. Of course, I started downloading other crap. I bought the Immortal Technique CD that Matt showed me the other day after the Steak Fry (only $9.99).
The thing I'm pissed about is that the program crashes when I try to burn the album to CD, and the tracks that I download are only playable on the iTunes player and an iPod. thats some BS. I think Apple owes me $300 for an iPod with the FM transmitter so I can listen to these songs in my car.
Next time I'll download the tracks illegally so I can listen to the songs in my car or wherever I want. It doesn't make sense to me.
I'm working on a way to record the streaming audio from the playback. It should work. Too much work, and I'm not giving anymore money to the iTunes/iPod/Apple people.
If you get an iPod you have to use iTunes to transfer music to it. at least that is my understanding. I almost bought one a couple days ago, as Meijer just got them in. I'm glad I didn't.
