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

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

@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.

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

@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.

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

[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.

1:19 "What am I doing here?"

[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.

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!
