If you didn’t know already: IE does not display this site correctly, due to web standards. Most importantly IE is susceptible to viruses, and spyware; due to Microsoft’s inability to patch it’s own browser in a timely manner. So I highly recommend, a safe, more standards compliant browser such as Mozilla Firefox.

Soon to be an iPod convert?…

I think I’ve had it with the non-Apple online music services, namely Yahoo Music Engine. I like the subscription model of the non-Apple music stores, but the execution is just HORRIBLE. I am tired of dealing with buggy and slow UI and the quirkyness of DRM protected WMAs. The whole thing is just not very well executed (typical of Microsoft products, eh?). I don’t want to be their beta tester anymore. I want switch over to the time-tested Apple iTunes/iPod combo.

Also, I realized that I don’t really take advantage of the subscription model either. In the long run, it’s probably cheaper for my to BUY me music instead of RENTING my music.

ARG!

UPDATE: I think I’ll wait until April 1st. I have a feeling that Apple will introduce something big for their 30th birthday. Maybe a portable media center thing? There’s some rumors about a media player with “PSP sized” touch screen.

    I love my iPod, but I really wish I could use it to transfer music. Apple forces you to use your computer as the “mother ship.” And those darn proprietary music files become a pain when burning to CD - if you haven’t downloaded an entire album, it can’t fetch the info from CDDB, so then you have to type it in manually. FUN!

    But then, I only use it for music. The video playing feature is pretty bitchin’.
