i think of it differently than some here.
i would rather not have a physical cd. i actually dont listen to music if im not at my computer. in the past i go to the store (which i dont like. because of driving, parking, music snobs. you know who you are.. ) but i go, then rip, then toss cd's.
this streamlines and saves me time and energy. and i think its cool that it doesnt involve resource consumption. its like the paperless office...

I love album art... but I hate cds..
Maybe a cool compromise would be if you buy the album.. they sned you like 11x17 posters via mail since they already have your address....
these posters could have like a cool ass poster on one side and of course the other side has all the lyrics etc...
that would be pretty cool if i had tons of smaller posters... i wouls rather have that collection

anyway, i am a total mac addict and evangelist....
itunes just works great for me, i hope it's good ported to pc, cause it should be fun : )

iTunes has been so-far-so-good, but it did crash 3 times when I was adding a big folder (ie. with subdirectories it was around 7 gb) into the library.
It's not a big deal, but it was the first thing that happened to me with the player.
Unless things change dramatically and it proves totally unstable, I'll keep it. And for those of you who don't like the store, you can disable it in your options menu.
(I'd still like the Always on Top though...)

I don't believe it!!! I run iTunes for the first time ever, I add my music folder like it said I should and it fucking crashes!!
Great fucking shit you're producing Apple, oh yeah, I'll definitely switch now.

..side note: my machine has NEVER ever crashed before in it's entire life.

I tunes is cool and all.. but they claim their Music Store AAC files for purchase are "virtually indistinguishable from the original uncompressed audio source"...
http://www.apple.com/itunes/over…
that is bunk, they only use 128 kbps. It sounds OK... but there is a clear difference. I checked with crappy headphones, and I could tell the difference from the original. They should at least bump it up to 192 kbps.
my 2 cents.

"Great fucking shit you're producing Apple, oh yeah, I'll definitely switch now."
like microsoft does any better...
it's rather unrealistic to expect 1.0 of any computer product working flawlessly.

poor jox..
dont do the drop folder thing.... just import
windows never is great at dragging dropping stuff...
pos PC is what you should be saying.
The only time my computer crashes is when drag and drop stuff

your pc's are whack then. ;)
i drag and dropped my music folder (about 35gb). no crash.
i like it so far. radio thing is awesome too.

I did import an entire folder. I just can't see how it's even possible to crash with like 30 files / 50 mb in it.
And I was under the impression that "1.0" is not a beta - it should be working, or at least allow folder import and even more so on a brand new machine.
Apple's prettiness ain't gonna buy them outta this mess.

Or, rather, POS operating system. I've just finished patching the five PCs on my network and MS wants me to do it again. And then every month after that.
Thanks MS.
As for iTunes, as I mentioned earlier, Jox isn't the only one who had the program crash.
But since then it's been sharp. And burning and ripping discs is supa smooth.

ya... its supa smooooth....
love it

now you know better.

Ok now when we have iTunes, we're ready for iDVD, Sherlock and stuff. So it is possible to port Mac apps to PC and keep them working so so ok. Is it realistic to expect OSX on PC by the end of 2004? :)
Cheers.

hahahaha..
did you computer crash while using I tunes?so that means.. even with a mac app, it will still crash?
They say mac users are arrogants..
I say Pc users are very tolerants..GEEEEEEEEEEEEEK FIGHT!!!
:)

I just find it funny how Mac users always claim their shit works like a charm. And the first time ever I try an Apple product on my machine, it crashes. And my PC(!) has never crashed before.
I know that it probably works a lot better with Mac apps on a Mac, but you have to see the irony here...
But don't mind me, I'm having mood swings. I just restarted the machine, and it works now.. I wonder how long it'll take before I like it.

I think for a ported application it is workign extremely well.
I would hoever. like to see the ability to blank a cd-RW from iTunes

if something doesnt work you hear from people, if something works you dont.
in apples defense, itunes has been wonderful. i installed, selected "add folder to library" which was a folder containing 296 folders and 14 gig of music... it took about a minute or two to scan/load, whala! everything was smooth and silky. i have had zero lag/hang/crash, nothing. i do have a pretty fast computer, that could be relevant.

okay, here's my honest opinion.
i downloaded it and installed as soon as it got out. but do we really need an app that (with my library item number at least) uses 50 megs of ram? i mean, its not like we didn't have applications with those features already (apart from the store).
i don't think its that revolutionary. i do love apple, but we have to be serious, here.
