Jesse Perry informed us of his new iTunes Countdown application featuring an alert when it gets near every 100k mark. “Apple will begin the countdown to 100 million songs by giving away 50 special 20GB iPods—one to the purchaser of each 100,000th song downloaded between 95 million and 100 million songs.”

I just tried the Windows version, and it comes up and says that it was “created with a demo license and will expire in 31 days. The application will also exit after 5 minutes.”
The 31 days thing isn’t a big deal, but what good is this app if it only runs for 5 minutes and then exits?
Any other alternatives for Windows, or a way around this problem?

It’s because it was made with REALbasic and he didn’t pay for the professional version of it.

Totally agreed that we have enough countdown tools. It reminds me of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory when they have a room full of computers making the calculations as to the location of the final golden ticket.
More importantly than the counters - has anyone WON an ipod yet? I’m curious to see how the person was notified, how long it took after they purchased the winning track, etc etc etc.
Any one of us “participating” in this could be a winner for days without knowing, at least if what the official rules say is accurate.

uh this has nothing to do with above but the so called sony powerpod… the reason it can hold so many songs is because they degrade the quality of the songs I never thought sony would sink so low low low low
