They seclude themselves from the world because they are MEAN!!!!!! I like the Apple of Death! HAHAHA! I hate Macs. Stupid. Stupifd. SATAN. [/size] [/quote] Let me tell you WHY iPods and iTunes are worth the $$$: 1. They work and they work well together. It's one of the few things where I've been completely amazed at how it "just works." 2. The DRM isn't all that restrictive. If you purchase a song from iTMS, you can burn it to cd. Plus, you can play it on up to 5 comps without a hassle. You can play it forever. You don't have to worry about your subscription running out and not being able to play your music. 3. If you're so inclined, there are fairly easy ways to remove the DRM. 4. iPods and iTunes have intuitive interfaces. One of my CYO kids had a Creative Zen, and it was absolutely clunky to try to use. It was too small for your hand, you had to guess how to work the thing, and the buttons were miniscule. It made you want to throw the thing out the window. The scroll wheel on the iPod makes it really easy to zip through 500 songs, whereas rocker switches or roller switches or buttons to scroll through songs gets tedious really quickly. Smart playlists, integration w/ the store, etc. 5. The prices are reasonable for the media: $1/song is fine for me (considering that cd's generally cost $15) and a whole album $10, TV shows are $2, and movies are $15 or so (considering that new movies usually cost $20) They are widescreen and (almost) dvd quality. 6. Integration. I can listen to my music on my computer, plug in my iPod, it'll synch, unplug it, continue listening on the way to my car, plug it into my stereo, control it from my stereo controls w/ a purely digital interface. That lets me safely change the song, rather than dig around for my iPod, pick it up, arrange my hand on the controls, and finally find the song I want. It has the benefit of muscle memory. I can skip songs without even looking down. It also doesn't degrade the sound quality. 7. Macs are way better than PCs, and I fix computers for a living. 8. Good things are worth paying for. Ex. (though I hate to use this particular car, it probably works best) when you pay extra to get a Lexus GS430, you're getting an objectively better car than if you got a Kia Rio. Both get you from one place to another, but one does it in a much nicer, safer fashion. Edited October 12, 2006 by scardella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
