Switching to the browser (list mode) in the store does let me peruse the catalog ok. But that takes me totally away from the specialized "display" that they're trying to promote. And I still keep coming up against black windows with unreadable text. Way to go Apple. Ok... Well, I ain't going to reward their incompetent design. I've voted with my feet. I'll use the iTunes Store for the free podcast subscriptions but for the rest, Apple can go choke. I gave one of the (smaller) cards to the neighbor's kids and returned the others to the Apple Store. They tried to offer me store credit - I told them (yea, in m'loud voice) that was unacceptable, for $400+, I'd have the person that bought them for me do a chargeback. Then they processed a proper refund. ...Just as well. I've now compared some of Apple's AAC tracks with those from other sources. WOW is there a big difference. The AAC tracks are, as Apple says, "tuned" to the response of the iPod ear buds. Iffa you no gots those particular ear buds... they sound like crap compared to rips from other sources. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
