What exactly did Steve J do "single handedly" to led the charge on the digital music revolution? I will tell you, basically nothing! Other people did all the hard work, then he thought and found a way to make money off their hard work without paying them for it while finding a way to rip the artist off once again while making the record companies and the RIAA think he was their Messiah. My point about ring tones is that the sheep that iTunes collects and Steve J and Company are looking for need a product as simple as iTunes in the first place so they are always going to pay twice while those Techy enough not to will not be forced to. Apple should be up front and honest about it and they might even make more money that way. "Hey, you already own this tune, for 25 cents use this Apple App to make it one of your endless available ring tones. And by the way, if you don't own the tune you want, check out the iTunes Store and just buy the song and not the whole album. And if you bought the song from the iTunes Store, convert it free to a ring tone." That is what I am saying. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72333 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
