Morning update to a late night rant.
Update : Ok, with yesterday / last night's post in the channel, I thought I should make a few side bar notes... umm, when I do get new music, I use online stores if I'm only interested in purchasing the songs, but since I spent years and years working near a music department, I have plenty right now. As for the music stores I prefer, I WAS almost a convert to iTunes, but... well see these articles for my opinion on that....

or http://americancomputersupport.blogspot.com/2005/01/ipod-mini.html
Otherwise, I'm going to try Walmart, or Real for a while... see how they handle the issues... can't be convinced to try the new Napster or Microsoft's sites... mostly issues with DRM in my case... can't be convinced that it's a good thing (even though these other two probably have some sort in place, you guys make it a mission to distribute DRM, not content.. please also see last article), and since you can get around it with a few simple hacks, it's not really that innovative for me, even as a musician... (line out line in, haven't tried it, but I'm guessing I could make it work with a second pc, or a tuner then a PC... but just not that interested in trying, anyone up for a "break the DRM" challenge with house hold items? I'll supply the laugh track?). But for the most part, I've given up on iTunes till they stop sending me spam ("your warranty's expired..." Wait, I just got my iPod in November, how is a year long warranty from November expiring in February?). so....
TO : iTunes Support - Answer the mail I sent repeatedly about 4.7.1 or I'm going to start e-blasting your product on every blog site and review site I can find.... the wrath of a man with a keyboard can be great if he's a reasonable man with a decent blog-cab-u-lairy... (joke there, get a sense of humor as well if you read that and want to make a snide comment)
Second update: If your a blogger.com user, please try putting the word "blog" in your post and then explain to me why spell check comes up with this word as incorrect? Just wondering google, I'm starting to turn my eyes to you.... Your BLOG software shouldn't have a hard time with the word BLOG, and I shouldn't have to teach it to the spell checker.
