i don't forgive amazon for this, but well, it did work

I have very long been desperately trying to get away from iTunes, with its fairly regular crashes, random acts of destroying the xml file, unexpectedly changing the location of my music folder, which is like, the last straw because I am freaking anal about my organizational structure. Not to overstate the case, but I'd be less freaked out by ( Read more... )

False! Nearly every music player/store supports iPod now. Unless of course it's an iPod Touch or an iPhone and you're buying music straight from the device, in which case I cannot help you. D:

I bailed on Apple back when they dumped the IIc with no warning, after we'd spent way the fuck too much money for a 20 meg HD (Seagate, and they had said it couldn't be done. One year later Apple dropped the bomb on us, and we said fuck this and left. Never regretted it once in all the years since then (27 at last counting)

I hear ya about anal filekeeping, oh yeah. Haven't gotten any ipod or clones, but then I still do most everything on my clunky old steam-powered desktop -- there's not much to bother being mobile for around here, and I like hanging around in my boxxorz and smoking a bowl whilst I wander. But sympathies, oyes indeed!!

hope teh new arrangement works out well. good on you for doing it! I hate, hate, hate, HATE having to change any of my comfy routines. I like my routines. and they make a pretty good substitute for a working memory, since I don't have much of that in my brain.

ya for linux. yay for bittorrent.

I got an email from amazon a few days ago telling me that I no longer have access to most of my music. And this is music I spent over three weeks uploading to the amazon cloud. So pissed. I haven't even decided what I'm going to do yet. I am not enamored of the whole cloud concept. I like having my files backed up at my own house, you know?
