It's worth adding....

You can't restore your purchased music purchases. You MUST repay.

It's explicitally stated in the agreement.

I tried to restore albums and was refused.

Keep that in mind.

Sorry to hear about your car troubles. If you get a new car, it's likely
to have an auxiliary audio input on the CD deck. Personally, I rather
have a functioning air Conditioning. :-)

I think that uncompressed formats will be available for some music but
you'll have to pay extra for the higher quality. Mostly, I talking about
pop music i.e., "throwaway" stuff. :-)

Interesting article - thanks! OTOH, audio compression is our friend.
It's use is universal in hearing aids and most of the programming I get
on our HD TV really could us some - even a lot. As it is, the overly
wide dynamic range of the digital sound has turned me into a volume
control jockey. :-)

Thanks


Good point. The old car, even when the audio system worked, did
not have an aux input. The air conditioning did work.
But it had some other issues, like the windshield was micro-pitted to
the point where even with brand new wiper blades the wipers gave
the effect of not working well.

If we hadn't put on two new tires, a fuel injector and a battery in
the past 12 months I would feel better about it having croaked.

Nothing. All reproduced music is garbage. I'd much rather listen to
amaturish live than the best of the best reproduced. I'd never ever
put buds in my ears, not so long as birds sing.

The cheapest players will have a cheaper audio chip and sound a
little worse.

I use my low-end Nokia "XpressMusic" phone as an MP3 player and
it supposedly has a good-quality audio chip in it and I think
it sounds (relatively speaking) very good. So I don't see much
reason to have a dedicated MP3 player separate from my phone.

Since Steve has regained the helm, Apple uses a shared OS, namely
unix, a shared platform, Intel, and would charge his mother to use his
bathroom. The guy makes Bill Gates look like Mother Teresa.

I think that's what I just said.


The issue is the iPad's predecessor product was the iPhone (same
OS and same app's), so it is odd they left that functionality out.

OK, thanks. That tells me that---for me---the iPod possesses no
advantage whatever. I don't rate music, I don't organize my favorite
tunes. I'm happy to listen to the 200-300 songs I really like, which
are already on my MP3 player. Plug in the earbuds, turn it on, listen
while I walk or work in the shop.

There may be some songs I liked centuries ago, in middle/high school
:-) but I can't remember what they are so I'm not really missing
anything. There may be new music that I'd like but that stuff is few
and far between.
