Neither do I when I asked why do we really need ITunes. As you say Josh it
is possible to find alternative solutins - although I would like to
experience ITunes, as i've heard itis very good.
For your ogg conversion Josh, there is CDEX on Windows, maybe there is a Mac
equivilant. Although I think mp3 is possibly mroe useful for some as if
their music player doens't work for their oggs, they can at least play them
on something else. But I like oggs and prefer them for music and audio.

Given enough time and effort you could find individual alternatives for
each of the things that iTunes does well collectively. Some podcasts
require you to subscribe through iTunes, in which case there is no
alternative. I've never run across a ripper that converted to AAC format,
which I prefer over MP3. It's all a matter of taste. I like iTunes and i
use it under Windows, but i don't claim that my opinion is right for
everyone. *smile*

cause if you can't recommend any alternitives to replace itunes then your
oppenion has no weight.
so if you know of alternitives tell on fill us all in dude. seriously.
as it stands now I have yet to find a podcatcher that works then itunes
the cd ripper haven't found one that is easy to set up etc. the last one
I tried crashed my mac.

dear god, I agree. I'm not quite sure where this blind fashion
(excuse the pun) but damn, its annoying as hell to hear the first
question that is ask when ever I bring up the mac for the blind is
"does it work with ITunes?"
no! and who cares. if you want to buy music there are plenty of
places to do that, podcasting, mp3 and media playere there are tons
of places for that also, itunes is a piece of garbage in my book and
I think its a fashion!!!!

Hi folks,
I don't honestly think that ITunes support is that important. Okay
I'll admit i was more than a little surprised when Voice Over
didntt work with Apple's ITunes - one of its trademark products,
but well do we really need it - I've deleted it from my mac.

in the mac news websites and a few podcasts on coverage of Steve
Jobs wwdc keynote they say nothing about the new accessability.
I was glad to see this news about a improved voice over i guess
this will be 2.0 version.
That is super cool though in having the ceo of a major company
like this demo such a small nich highly important feature like
this. Doubt others would be as berave or thoughtful hint ms.
It would also be great of Apple if they did another beta test
program for leopard accessaibility like they did for tiger voice
over version 1.
From what I heard and read about the leopard features that were
being reported on I was not very impresed and thining I might pass
on it,now I am excitied with the new updated accessaibility. I
hope itunes will be much more useable this time around and we will
able to access the itunes store with vo.
