QTF!

I like the idea of subscription music services. I'd love to take advantage of my local library's audiobook download program. But I can't because none of this shit works of a Mac. I can't even download a player for my MacBook because there isn't one, let alone using these files on my iPod.

I understand Mac users are still a minority, but I guess all the bitching from corps who threw their lot in with WMA about how they can't get on the iPods of American rates a big boo-fuckin-hoo from me.

Actually, Snoopy was visiting Lila in the hospital. Lila, you see, was his first owner.

Glad we could clear this up. Now what's this about a thing that you can play on one thing but not on another?

Also, as self-serving as it sounded when Steve Jobs said it in his post-DRM manifesto last year, it is true that the only reason Fairplay exists is because back in 2003, the friggin' labels demanded it. Motherfuck them, and John Wayne.

Beautiful memories.
