Some are iTunes DRM and some are ripped from her own CDs. P2P is not permitted in the house (and is blocked via OpenDNS). She is not trying to do anything illegal. > But isn't this a case of one mistake begetting another? If your iTunes > software is crashing it means your PC is misconfigured. Why not fix > that? See below. That is not why she wants to switch. (By the way, software that crashes because a PC is "misconfigured", whatever that means in this context, is bad software. In any event, iTunes routinely crashes on all 3 PCs we've tried it on.) > Replacing an iPod with a Zune is a cruel joke. Are you one of those > parents who believes in the educational value of failure? She wants to switch because she has used both extensively (her brother has a Zune) and prefers the Zune. But perhaps she can be saved. If you can list the reasons why she is mistaken, I will pass them along and set her back on the path to righteousness. Just be sure to base your comparisons on the Zune 80, not on the original 2006 model. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
