And let us be extremely clear..it's NEVER been APPLE that could screw us, it was the music publishers who forced DRM on us. WRT DRM itself, I agree. But Apple's control of said DRM (?Fairplay?) will leave you with unplayable music if the iTunes Store should be closed. Really tho, I wasn't thinking of the DRM. I was thinking about the poor quality of Apple's music tracks, in the first place. For that xtra $, they may be be DRM-free now, but they're *still* pre-equalized / sampled / tuned for ear buds -- so they smell like padadodo on a real sound system or when compared to a half-decent CD rip. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: iTunes 9 on a G4
I myself have not yet updated iTunes 9 but I might be soon, today I got my weekly apple email and they had some new tv shows for free and I wanted to get them but couldn't because I don't have the latest iTunes.
