What would there be to talk about then? (Seriously, thank you for articulating that Jim)
This verbal masturbation about how one sound system is better/worse than the other is the highlight of my day!
I have friends who hate Microsoft too. I just smile and turn the other cheek.
I only use itunes to convert music to mp3. As Dale says, you can use Real Player instead for the ipod. You can use anything for most things really. And you know what? It's all free. So I can't complain.
WMP works just fine to hear AM. So does itunes or Winamp.
As for the ipod, I have no need or want for one. I'm too busy, and I have all the music I need. If there were no more recordings I would be set for life. I just buy because I care. Shit, I can't even file my music in a decent amount of time anymore. It's hard enough just to get back to the kind artists who send or turn me on to music. My one kid has his ipod implanted in his ear. My head would explode if I had to put my music on the computer to put it on something else.
It's just not that important to me to have a portable music device like an ipod. Great idea if you like it though, it's a cool thing. But I'm never in one place long enough to enjoy it.
