Hey, can someone link to Billy's play list? or just post what's on it? I'm kinda curious, despite myself.

I am really happy with this program. It is SOOO much easier to work with my iPod now. It's really easy to search for songs in my library. And the Music Store is cool but 99 cents per track is a bit steep. I love how you can preview songs before you buy though.

I still have yet to re-format my ipod. My computer won't recognize it until I do and it's such a hassel to sit and put it aaaallll back on there. I don't want to erase it until I have time to put everything back on becaues I dont want to be stuck somewhere with like..four songs.

should i download it?

Uh...i haven't paid for anything. I don't know that i'll ever buy any tracks from the Music Store. I was saying iTunes is a quality program.

And while i "steal music," I don't think there's anything wrong with paying for fast, quality downloads. Geez, some of you really ought to grow up.

I don't think you'd need to reformat your iPod to use iTunes. Or were you saying you need to reformat anyway?

Either way, i would recommend downloading iTunes. It's a decent mp3 player but it's absolutely vital if you own an iPod.

Lots of threads are like this one. And iTunes has a pretty good reputation; it's more informative than anything else. I for one am grateful MLD posted it because it reminded me to at least give it a try.

what the fuck just get on mirc, join some group, and get access to huge ftps. i havent even spent 5 minutes looking for any cd in the past 2 years. everything that gay store has, anyone else can find on mirc or kazaa. simple as that. paying for music is wrong. ill pay for concerts, but not for cd's. the internet has brought you a new freedom and you should take advantage of it; the freedom of stealing music.

if you don't steal music, you're just as bad as the terrorists.

I'm not sure why you'd need to do this. All of my mp3s originate from my PC before they end up on my iPod. In any case, MusicMatch is pure shit.

i have two computers. one at work and one at home. I like to be able easily transfer songs between them.

yes i agree the music match is pretty crappy in almost everything it does except for one thing: super-tagging kicks ass.

oh yeah, now that i have itunes...what's the difference between AAC vs. MP3? which is better? is it worth it to convert all my mp3's to AAC?
