Apple iTunes Intro - Part 2

[Ffiti2]

We now know that while Steve Jobs was introducing this, he was keeping iPod a secret.

The members of the B-52's were desperate for money back in 2001

[supernoob17]

there we go... no? i think its spinning up now.... so this is gonna go ahead and burn the cd for me! its gonna burn the whole playlist... i don't wanna burn the whole playlist so i'm gonna... go ahead and stop this... but you get the idea... its preparing the track now... this is gonna take a while.... its gonna take me a second to stop this... now heres my playlist AND THAT'S HOW EASY IT IS TO BURN A CD!

@supernoob17 Things can go wrong at demos. It actually WAS stupidly easy to burn a CD once iTunes came out back then.

[ThePJMcConnell]

Well, I bet the visualizer looked awesome then, but on a 240p youtube player, not so great lol

[MarkPMus]

@ItsMrBigfence so unrestricted that it won't allow hi-res files, flac, MP3 players other than the iPod, etc, etc, etc...

[natogandalf]

@MarkPMus Hi-res files being what? Is uncompressed high enough resolution? Why would it add support for other MP3-players? It's not as if another MP3-player has an app as refined as iTunes that you're missing out on.

[MarkPMus]

@natogandalf I just feel that Apple's philosophy since the iPhone and iPad is "let's see how much money we can make and how many people we can put out of business." Hence the Mac App store and their disregard for the CD and DVD/Blu Ray formats - why buy a disc when you can d/load it from Apple? They are not being innovative anymore, and quality suffers too - it is perfectly possible to download and playback DVD-A and SACD quality files, but iTunes and iPods will not play them at full resolution.

[j800r]

@MarkPMus You're wrong. Innovation is moving forward and embracing the way of the future. Optical media is slowly (note that I say SLOWLY) dying out and with hard drive storage being more and plentiful not to mention the introduction of cloud storage digital is the way of the future. Apple (with iTunes) aren't the only ones embracing this. Also, you can STILL burn audio CDs with iTunes, still rip existing AND back up to dvd. Also, DVD-A is very obscure and never took off.

[j800r]

@MarkPMus MP3 is the industry standard. Virtually no jukebox app out there supports FLAC natively (except maybe Winamp) without plugins. There are plugins to support FLAC on iTunes. That has nothing to do with "restrictions". You're talking about features. Different kettle of fish. It'd be hard for them to support every single portable media player out there nowadays. They have their own that works flawlessly with iTunes. Again, not a restriction.

[appleAddict240872]

itunes visualizer is teh legal way to get high.

[Zoolookuk]

I see the morons at google disabled audio for two entire videos because of a few seconds of a song.

[gigglygloo]

I Would LOve To Know What MP3 PLayer That Was....

Hang On (correct me if i am wrong) Isn't THat Feature Of Non Apple MP3 Player Syncing Pretty Much Demolished In Itunes?

[jrgs906]

this was before the ipod so of course they had that feature.

[MarkPMus]

@gigglygloo "Unrestricted!" They have done a pretty good job of restricting it since then.

[shaoranrch]

boom there it is. lmao he always says that xD.

[luisfelipe159]

And its free....

[abdulnafie]

[Bobertoq]

[biffcalliafas]

i know right?

[xXfalafelXx]

"what if we can see music" - isn't that what lsd is for? ;)

[HappyDaze01]

Not speaking from personal experience (I wish I was wrong) but aren't those visualisations like what someone sees when they are trippin' on the lsd?

[MacNerd1239]

The power of 0S9

[makkertje]

OS9 was pretty cool then. Better than Windows95/98/ME crap!!

[trevorlsciact]

it still sucked tho, all os's did back then lol

[eduardrz]

itunes on mac os 9???? omg, i'm shocked

[Shamingo]

you're retarded

[hldan]

iTunes is not new. It's been on the Mac for over 8 years. It's only new to those weirdo dumbass Windows users.

[MacNerd1239]

lol your completly right hldan

[olfrygt2007]

iTunes was introduced in early 2001. Now its 2007 --> No 8 years on Mac. Windows Users can use iTunes for about 4 Years. --> also not new.

[hldan]

Okay it's nearly 7 years on Mac and I ain't talkin about Windows because that's a port. iTunes is a Mac application. Does it really matter that you had to correct me? The OP was just shocked that it was on OS9 and I confirmed that. Some people think iTunes was born for the iPod and it's not true at all.

[olfrygt2007]

iTunes was introduced in January 2001. The iPod was introduced in October 2001. So it´s quite normal that it was developed to support the iPod which was definitely in deverlopment at this time.

[ramin987]

Fantastic truths that you talk, hehe :)

You young windoze whipper shnappers >:(
