You do realise you're now going to have to justify that by reviewing the album as soon as you have it? There is no escape!

Of course!

Ah, there's nothing like a good rant! I too hate itunes, but have to use it because it seems to be the only way to guarantee that the proper artwork will transfer over to my ipod with the albums. I've tried MM and liked it, but when I use it to transfer I end up with something like "Carl Perkins sings rockabilly vol IX" for an album like Iron Maiden's "Killers"! So I use it ONLY for transfer of music to my ipod, and I only use my ipod because these days every single player/dock/charger is manufactured with the ipod in mind. If you want to use another media player (I love my Zen x-fi!) then good luck, because all you'll be able to do is hook it via 3.5mm jack which will neither allow it to stand in the dock, nor give you access to the cooler features of the one I have, like scrolling track and album information and remote control.

Damn them! They built the perfect dock/player for me (Logitech Pure-Fi Dream, well named) and then made it exclusively (effectively) for ipod which meant I had to buy one of the things! I, too, goddamn hate itunes, but it's part of our lives now, and nothing we can do about it. It's bloody everywhere!

Oh, and I wouldn't buy a track from the itunes store if they paid me! Ninety-nine cents a track? I don't think so! I get anything from eight to ten cents where I shop, so 99 cents can buy me a full album. Why would I pay Jobs ten times the price I'm paying?

(This would make a good thread in the main forum you know...)
