all I'm saying here wilber, is that Itunes is not the one answeer for
everything and its a fashion and wrong in many ways. a lot of people
think Microsoft isn't wrong for using propriortory formats like wma
and drm wma but apple does the same with the music you download from
Itunes. but no one is crying about that. believe me, I hate M$ more
than anyone but you can't excuse apple because its apple for its faults.

some one who wants to slam ITunes you are quite comfortable to use
it to rip CD's etc - a little odd for someone who uncatogorically
describes ITunes as "garbage".

ok, I'll spell it out:
for music, there is easynews.com
for podcatching there are plenty of scripts out there written for
podcatching, weather they are apple scripts or bash scripts,
they're scrips.
for ripping, itunes does it for me just fine, automatically at that.
for dvd ripping there is one of those also, its on my desktop and
can't look up the name just yet, instead of coming up on here
bitching, why not use the mac pedia, thats what's its there for,
you keep finding short comings of the mac, and itunes isn't the
answer, i told you itunes is garbage. period!

buying music, cd ripping etc then for alternitives?
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.

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.
