I-Tunes Review

I just downloaded ITunes for Windows, to see how it works. The Player is OK, but Ugly as sin, like it fell out of the Ugly Process() and hit every node on the way down. I-Tunes should take a style tip from Windows Media Player or Winamp. I was more excited about the online storage portion to replace the one I lost when the old mp3.com went under (I had over 200 CDs set up online to stream...)

I WAS excited that is, until the registration asked me for my credit card number. Ick. Isn't it possible to try this service out, and decide if I actually want to use it before forking over my credit card number?

Also, all the music offered through the i-Tunes site is infected with DRM, which is reason enough to stick with...well, Anything else.

Meanwhile, ITunes player only supports IPOD hardware (Which is pronounced backwards as "dopey")

Guess it's back to Media Player / Winamp...

Tune out,
-C
