Title: I tunes for PC awaible Post by: [[EUR]] HoloGram on October 16, 2003, 11:25:31 pm Hello guys. I wanted to inform u all, that the Itunes PC version is out from now on.
So those of you who have PCs - have fun with it. I already got it - and it runs really good - damn fast Title: Re:I tunes for PC awaible Post by: the oNe on October 17, 2003, 03:07:21 am Dell is on Apple's heels, they are releasing their own Music Store also soon. But, this is great news, we beat Dell in the race of Music Stores! Hopefully, a majority of the PC world accepts it and uses it to "legally" get music.
Title: Re:I tunes for PC awaible Post by: |MP|Buccaneer on October 17, 2003, 07:32:17 am I just heard that Apple's iTunes Music Store has been responsible for 70% of all downloaded music (paid for) on the internet. And that's with just a 5% market share able to use it.
I'd say Dell has a long way to go to catch up. Title: Re:I tunes for PC awaible Post by: Toxic::Joka on October 17, 2003, 12:57:18 pm Isnt iTunes a part of a big puzzle (all the iApps etc.) to make PC users switch to mac?
Doesnt this go aggainst it? I was much more happier yesterday when i knew that PC users couldnt use the great apps i can, *sigh* Title: Re:I tunes for PC awaible Post by: kos.viper on October 17, 2003, 09:17:34 pm Haven't gotten my roommate to download iTunes just yet. Don't worry though, I'll annoy him to the point that he'll break and try it out. ;D

Why would you have WMA songs? If you do infact have the CD they came from then iTunes can import them. Unless ofcorse you decided to use a certian type of bad application... >:( If you are looking to play internet, true free, audio content you can use WMP. I see no need to use a music application for that. Title: Re:I tunes for PC awaible Post by: c| Splinter on October 18, 2003, 02:19:54 am im talking about music i've imported prior to getting itunes. and yes i can reimport them (and most likely will), but i hate having to do things twice.
Title: Re:I tunes for PC awaible Post by: |MP|Buccaneer on October 18, 2003, 02:29:12 am Just curious Splinter, why would you import them as a wma in the first place? My opinion, but it's not a great standard anyway.
Title: Re:I tunes for PC awaible Post by: Cow on October 18, 2003, 02:24:03 pm .wma sucks, and that program is a monster, iTunes is a trojan horse, sneek in there and convert unsuspecting PC users, at least it will sell more iPods, and all the current windows iPod users will be very happy.
Title: Re:I tunes for PC awaible Post by: kami on October 18, 2003, 03:08:15 pm I love how apple made the 'move everything to the iTunes library and catalogue them according to ID3 tags' default on the windows version. A lot of PC users are pissed 'cos of it :)
Bucc, I wouldn't say wma is actually a standard at all, it's a pos ;) Anyone who imports audio using wma is retarded. The mp3 standard has been around for ages, why suddenly jump onto some standard that only MS (with ass lackeys) supports? This is Steve Jobs music event where he released all the great stuff: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/musicevent03/ (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/musicevent03/) Title: Re:I tunes for PC awaible Post by: KoS Ultimo on October 18, 2003, 06:12:06 pm Some interesting things I noticed when I installed itunes on my pc.
All the songs I brought from my G4 to my PC carried music covers and my ratings. Also, when I first loaded up itunes for the first time on my pc, it had all my brother's music on it ( using the ip stream thingy). I never had to type in his ip or anything cuz all my prefs from back when I was using itunes on my mac were transfered over in the music. My brother and I were amazed. Bravo to Apple! :D Title: Re:I tunes for PC awaible Post by: kami on October 19, 2003, 01:23:13 pm Ultimo, it's all thanks to rendezvous.. and album covers are all fixed in the ID3 tag, don't think the ratings are though, so that sounds weird..
