So, I'm a bit bored, I'm getting into podcasts and wotnot, so a mate says I should try the iTunes software.
What a load of absolute crap it is too. People slate Windows Media Player all the time, but jeees, even thats a darn sight better than this itunes thing.
I know alot of people like it because they use it "in conjunction" with an ipod - although how copying a file from a-b can be seen as a great function, I do not know, but perhpas something amazing happens when you connect an ipod to this stuff...doubt it somehow.
The interface is non-intuitive, the layout is poor - to summarise, I am NOT a fan.

Horses are dumb. They cannot operate Media Player OR iTunes. Plus their ears are too big for normal headphones.

At least you can eat horses. iTunes provides fuck all nutrition, AND had the utter, utter, utter cheek to decide to show me the krout itunes store by default. Music and German just do not go together for me. Thatzs why all their calssical composers did not add lyrics or vocal lines. They knew it would sound like utter shite.

My anti-Windows pro OSX rant:
You've been a Windows user for too long. Use iTune on a Mac and you'll realize it is amongst the best pieces of software for its intended purpose out there. When I switched from XP -> OSX I had a hard time figuring things out because they were
too simple e.g. installing programs. You mean I just drag and drop an icon into my Applications folder? That's it? No path name? No clicking on yes/no a dozen times? No reboot hen I'm done? I seriously thought I was doing something wrong.
As for uninstalling:
XP: Start -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs -> (select program) -> Remove -> "Are you sure you want to remove XXX from your computer?" -> Yes -> Please wait... (Gathering required information..., Please wait while Windows configures XXX...) -> reboot (sometimes)
OSX: Drag icon into the trash. Oops, did you not mean to do that? Drag it out of the trash.
Anyway, I do like Windows XP OK (beats the shit out of 3.1, 95, 98, and especially ME), just not as much as OSX. On Windows I prefer MusicMatch to iTunes.

You do realise that you are located in Germany and thus it would be the logical deduction by iTunes to make this your default store. Change the settings...better yet, don't buy any music, why pay money for shit quality MP3? Download them free instead.

If you pay to download music from iTunes, it is cheaper to do so from the German site than from the British. 99 cents over 79p, I believe (99 cents is about 68p). One of the examples of rip-off Britain. And the catalogue will be the same, so what difference does it make?
But I'm not an expert on this; I don't believe in paying for music anymore. Those bastards have snorted enough of my money up their noses.

I dont mind buying vinyl, but paying for digital approximations of music on CD or even worse on MP3 whats that all about! Thats like samples that should be free anyway so you can listen before you decide to buy the vinyl.

That's why I mentioned the British site, because DR is from the UK. To order from the US site, you need an American credit card. But for those who do, that is obviously the best bet. Well, the third best bet after Limewire/Bearshare and
AllofMP3.com.

Horse shit is good clean shit though and is usually packaged in handy pocket size portions and often piled to ease selection.

Fine if you're the horse but bouncing up and down at one remove isn't great.
It's like women's volleyball, they're wearing tight shorts, jumping up and down, waving their arms, shouting and reaching for balls but it's still at one remove.

English OS, English language install of itunes. Logical deduction by iTunes should have been that I do not speak krout. Then again, iTunes also assumes by default that you would store all your music in the "My Music" folder in windows. Yuk. Whislt I'm on the subject, it also assumed I would want Quicktime installed, even when everybody knows that hardly any pornography comes in that format.

And vice-versa; it will try and install iTunes when you download Quicktime. The iTunes-free version of Quicktime is hidden at the bottom of the page somewhere.

I like the added white trash edge of prejudice when someone is a bigot but not such a scholarly one, like misspelling bigot words or getting references wrong.
I recall a friend's uncle who hated Italians and would say that "They should all go back to Spickland where they came from."
iTunes reads all of your computer location info - IP address, yada yada - and then determines which copyrights and royalty agreements are available in that country and, based on that, what you are allowed to buy.

Kraut?!? My arse, that might be how the krouts spell it. Same as english spell roast beef, and the frogs call us rosbif.
Anyhoo, I personally think that the krouts use of the word kraut stems from a linguistic misunderstanding of the french word for raw. Like the brits fucked up with the word grape.

"Kraut kraut is shit" is rubbish. It doesn't distinguish between kraut, and the fact that I think that the krout version of it is shit compared to say, the french version.

Removing the shit (smegma or whatever it is) that builds up on a bloke horse's knob, it is normally removed through a bit of shagging in the wild population but not so if your man horse is domesticated and not doing the deed.
