Title: iTunes 4.9 Rocks
Post by: Mad Dr Jeffe on June 28, 2005, 08:50:10 PM: New features... podcasting...
Publish your podcast to the largest internet music store in the world for free.
New advanced bookmarkable podcast capability to show video, text or graphics in itunes while you listen.
New iPod extras like shuffle and some pre-ipod phone stuff.

If you hate iTunes thats ok, I think its a nice jukebox, and software package, (considering its free)

It. Is. Awesome.

Post by: Mad Dr Jeffe on July 05, 2005, 12:53:08 AM: probably not,... but who knows, I just like the look and feel and ease of iTunes,... Plus its hooked to a great online music store and allows me to publish my music (if I played) or my podcast to the store.

Post by: Lhotse on July 22, 2005, 02:29:32 PM: Actually, iTunes does have mp3 ripping capabilities. Compared to other jukeboxes, I also personally feel that the look and ease of use iTunes offers far surpasses that of it's predecessors.

Post by: The Jade Knight on July 22, 2005, 02:57:51 PM: I know iTunes has ripping capabilities, but does it rip LAME mp3s?

I couldn't survive without my high-quality LAME mp3s. One day I'll probably switch to oggs, but not until I get an mp3 player that works with oggs, too.

And try not to resurrect dead threads, eh?

Post by: Mr_Pleasington on July 23, 2005, 01:20:01 AM: Dead threads?

It's been my experience in my near three-year tenure here (third forum b-day on the 28th) that there are no such things as dead threads. If you can find the topic still listed, you can post to it.

There's really not a big enough group of posters here to make this a bad thing.

Post by: Chimera on July 23, 2005, 04:04:16 AM: Are threads really dead or just undead waiting to be reborn?

(Sorry--I couldn't help myself. I've got the Undead Questionaire on the brain. ;D)

Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on July 23, 2005, 10:02:10 AM: well, there are many objections to thread resurrections. However, this primarily is the result of posting to a thread not posted to 6 months ago to repeat someone else's comment. This one was dead for less than 2 weeks, which I don't think really counts, and he adds new material anyway.

Post by: Mr_Pleasington on July 23, 2005, 02:34:49 PM: Yes, Saint, posting a "me too" to an old thread to boost post-count is completely uncouth and I hadn't considered that in my above post as any a few newbies who come through here do it. Then they leave.
