New iTunes 04/28/2004 02:26 PM

I've been playing with the new version of iTunes for the past hour or two and the first thing that strikes me is all those annoying little arrows that link to the music store. I could perhaps see this being useful every once in a while, if I think to myself "I wonder if there's a new record by Mountain Goats?" but I can't see doing that more than once or twice a month. Why not put a "Look up in the iTunes Music Store" right-click menu option instead? The weirdest part is that my own purchased music has links to the store... so I can purchase them again? I'm turning that off asap but I still wonder why the arrows are turned on by default. Perhaps, as Tom just told me, to blur the lines between "your music" and "the store music for sale" which would certainly increase sales.

The party mix is weird looking, interface-wise, I wonder if it's using any sort of BPM analysis to arrange songs next to each other. I can't really tell the difference between that and random shuffle at this point.

Andre pointed out compilations to me, which I didn't notice before either. It appears that they're reading compilation info from ID3 tags now, and putting albums by various artists in the Artists browse list, which is kinda useful.

You don't own your iTunes, they 0wn you


You don't own your iTunes, they 0wn you 08/22/2004 07:30 AM
Cory Doctorow: Good blog post on why Apple iTunes DRM -- and other DRM systems -- that convey the message "you don't own the music you buy, you merely license it," make for such unsatisfying experiences.
We are outraged at the theft of a bicycle. We would be astonished to find bank executives having lunch on our patio, (“actually, if you read the contract, you will see we own this part of your house-the whole yard actually. Hank's gone to get his barbeque.”) We would be unhappy to get a note from J. Crew telling us that the expiry date for your new shoes has been moved forward and that we must cease and desist in their public display. No, as we understand and feel it, we own these things as if ownership were outright and in perpetuity.

Ownership has this quality in part because the things we own are part of what Goffman would call our identity kit--they help define who we are, both inwardly and outwardly. Strip us of these things, and our lives become, as Lear put it, “cheap as beasts.” Naturally, we regard the most “telling” of our possessions as if they were strategic resources and we defend them as governments do. Our security depends on their security.

DVD Jon becomes iTunes Jon


DVD Jon becomes iTunes Jon 01/06/2004 01:14 PM
Jon Johansen, the Norwegian programmer who cracked DVD encryption, has effectively done the same with iTunes DRM-ed music.
"We're about to find out what Apple really thinks about Fair Use," Johansen told The Register via email. Johansen cracked iTunes DRM scheme in November by releasing code for a small Windows program that dumps the stream to disk in raw AAC format. This raw format required some trivial additions to convert it to an MP4 file that could be played on any capable computer.

But in the best Apple ease-of-use tradition, Johansen has now made this completely seamless, integrating it with the VideoLAN streaming free software project.

DRM in iTunes On, Off, Now On Again


DRM in iTunes On, Off, Now On Again 03/24/2005 11:50 AM

Jon Johansen’s PyMusique application which allowed purchasing and downloading of music from iTunes Music Store without the normal DRM attached was shut down by Apple, and now is back working again. PyMusique does not write out DRM to the song, leaving it unprotected and free to be used on an unlimited number of machines. Johansen says he wrote the program to allow Linux users to buy music from iTunes music store, the ability to move the music from machine to machine without the DRM is just a nice side-effect. Looks like this serve and volley will continue for a while.

So, you want some hot mp3's? Well, this is the place (Russian, but English cookie-set option in top-left). Huge repositories of legal music, yours to download for only $0.01/Mb! If that's not enough, they'll even serve it up to you in any format or bitrate you require (MP3, AAC, FLAC, OGG, WMV). Add on to that the fact there's no DRM built into the files downloaded, and the option to pay with Paypal is a nice touch too. So, I ask you, MetaFilter, what is the catch?

Mobile iTunes


Mobile iTunes 07/26/2004 10:46 PM
Apple just announced a new iTunes mobile version that Motorola will load onto their "mass-market music phones" in the first half of next year. TheFeature's Carlo Longino gives his quick take on the deal:
Plenty of handsets today are capable of playing mp3s, but presumably none do it with the ease and grace -- or inherent coolness -- of Apple's products. It's an interesting move for Apple, which has said in the past the iTunes music store is a loss leader designed to help sell iPods. Presumably, they want to take new Moto phone users and turn them into iPod buyers... That, or this is just the first step towards the much-clamored-for wireless iPod.
