| 398360 | 2005-10-22 06:39:00 | Most people believe that it won't due to differences in record licensing agreements between the two countries. New Zealand is in the iTunes link maker as a separate country, so I believe we will have a separate store front. :) | maccrazy (6741) | ||
| 398361 | 2005-10-22 07:23:00 | It's been coming for the last 12months, please don't give me a excuse to pay for my music. | plod (107) | ||
| 398362 | 2005-10-22 07:27:00 | I wouldnt bother with Itunes, unless u plan on paying for the MP3's. Which I dont intend on doing. Just use Winamp and its plugin, if u dont want to use Itunes, for anything else but the Ipod. Its a waste of space. |

Its a waste of space . for windows maybe, but on the mac it's super fast and intergrates with the other programs, but thats another story :xmouth: I actually never plan on paying for another piece of music again, not with all the old tapes and lps lying around I cant use, I'm slowing moving it into a digtal format the easy way, by staling it :) why pay for something twice |

| 398364 | 2005-10-22 07:56:00 | Its got nothing to do with speed . There are other programs (which are smaller) that do exactly the same thing . (copy MP3's, to and from an Ipod) . If you're not worried about paying for MP3's . Or Podcasting (there are free programs, for this as well) . And dont have to run on startup . |

| 398365 | 2005-10-22 10:26:00 | There are other programs (which are smaller) that do exactly the same thing. It really comes down to personal preference. To me the size of an application doesn't bother me as long as it isn't visibly affecting other things I am doing with my computer. I'm sure there are other worthy alternatives out there but I personally feel that iTunes wins in both the interface and functionality departments. I wouldnt bother with Itunes, unless u plan on paying for the MP3's. Purchasing music online is the only legal way to put music on your computer, anything else is illegal. ;) I think that NZ will see a big drop in piracy when iTunes launches here because it is such a convenient alternative to P2P programs and if you only download a several songs each month it really isn't that costly. |

| 398366 | 2005-10-23 07:11:00 | But who said, u had to use Itunes for any MP3's. Thats what cds are for. Yer winamp and the mlipod plugin are good enough for me. BUT yer its depends as you say, your preference. I'm not really worried anyway, I use the Ipod more for adding contacts etc to it and using the calendar, and using it more as a hdd, than an MP3 player. |
