Re: (313) Convextion album now on iTunes

I never saw this site before, but it looks promising. I'm thinking
about grabbing some of my fav Mr De electrobooty from there, it's
easier to download than to rip the records I already own. I'll buy
good digital versions of tracks even if I already own them. Especially
since both my 1200's are broken and sitting in the corner. I really
hope they might put some more UR classics for sale. It would be nice
if they could expand their selection...

I tried Rockbox on my 2nd-gen mini (last before the nano) and it didn't
work. I am 'fick' (as we say here) though, so maybe it's just me.

iTunes is iPod-centric, and DRM-encumbered.  ITunes licensing
agreement for end users prohibits legal, legitimate uses of the
purchased music, and furthermore, Apple resevers the right to change
the license after the fact.

I don't mind if people buy iPods and use iTunes, but I have real
objections to the way they do business, especially when outfits like
Bleep.com exist.

I agree Kent, though in fairness iTunes could be a lot lot worse. The 
DRM (currently) is fairly light and can be sidestepped.


It's the 128k-ness that puts me off. I want 320kbps or full-fat wavs (in 
fact i'd much prefer the wav). For that reason, juno.co.uk or beatport 
are what I'd choose over iTMS.

Hey each to their own, but I wouldn't knock iTunes so much myself.

For me iTunes = a reasonably fair, equitable arrangement for both artist and 
industry (no industry, no artist and vice versa, remember?) in which everybody 
who produces gets paid something as opposed to everybody who produces doing it 
for free - as in 'illegal downloads'.

Also, regarding the quality, whilst ITMS files are ostensibly in 128kbps 
format, in fact, with Apple's proprietary 'AAC/m4a' (version of mp3) in reality 
using an average bit-rate, '128' can often mean rates up to 256. (The info is 
all on the web). Also, with the iTunes 'Producers Package', original master 
files from which the consumer files are copied are at a very good resolution, 
again raising the final quality - as I say, if you geek-out enough you can find 
all this - but people often say ITMS songs 'sound better' than 128, and 
certainly a lot of the ones I have heard do.

(Clearly, I don't work for Apple, by the way! Just wanted to give a fair, 
balanced view.)
