Tend to agree on this one, I dual boot with Ubuntu and XP, the main reason I've kept the XP partition is to run iTunes as there is no Linux version of iTunes...prior to switching to Linux & getting into SB I was happily unaware of the limitations of apple - Yes they make some great kit but its restricted and hard to interact if you don't follow their route ....DRM, artwork, etc. I'm just glad I never purchased any music from iTunes. -- socistep ------------------------------------------------------------------------ socistep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18860 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55285 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
