Wired: Give the DJs What They Want

I was a proud owner of a 2G thouchwheel iPod. Now I only own it. My next purchase is a Nomad Zen. I will not support a company who doesn ot respect its own customer base. Good bye Apple, welcome customer support.

surely pitch control and cross fade should be an add-on from griffin etc, as we’re not all dj’s. 

DJing with mp3 what’s the world coming too , in my day it was vinyl!

BBC News: File swappers 'buy more music'

I sure hope that ‘jack’ was only kidding aound otherwise you could at some point in later life find yourself doing some ‘time’. Do they lock you up in the US for stealing Cd’s?

Do i buy more CD’s as a result of downloading, not really as I’ve always bought music whether cd or vinyl (call me old fashioned but you just can’t beat vinyl, I don’t know but I love it!). buying my iPod has made me buy more CD’s despite having a huge CD collection (2,000+).

Haha!

RIAA will spend more money trying to fight piracy of music, then they’ll make back. THen the stupid company will ##### how they have no more money!

its a bunch of bs. make better music and the people will actually buy the records.

*sigh*

An old man, turns 98, receives no cards or presents from his family and spends his last dollar on a lottery ticket (knowing the odds) to ensure that he has nothing to leave them when he dies… wins the lottery and dies the next day.

THAT’S ironic…

heheheehehehehe, a conversation about a bill to restrict freedom causes so many people to pronounce there country as the as the most free, like it’s going to make anything better, isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?

btw, my dad can beat-up your dad “artful”, that is where you were going with your message, right? stupid post. us canadian can laugh at ourselves, if the joke is funny, not stupid.

Bacardi DJ Contest 2.0 gives away 12 iPods

They have a very cool Sequential Digital Mixer. If anyone wants to check out my beat you can go to the site. Mine is called “Bumpin”. Had fun making it!

i agree totally soltrain. apple is more concerned with pleasing potential customers than supporting existing ones. they feel they have their money from you already and its not like you can ask for a refund. i feel like my ipod is a red headed step child. you care for it as much as you can but dont expect the original parents to help support it.

maybe so, but its still ironic…..as is an old man turned 98 won the lottory and died the next day

Pitch control? Hah. It’s all marketing. First Apple would announce it was coming in a new patch and then delay it’s release 4 months or so. (windows 1.3 release)

Apple won’t even give 2ed gen Ipod owners the new 3rd gen firmware (2.0)

Not only that, they refuse to recognize any firmware bugs until they have fixed the problem themselves. (ipod ‘jogging/skipping’ 2.0 OS ‘click)

I enjoy my second gen ipod, but I am throughly disgusted with Apple’s support and after purchase care—or lack thereof.

In response to Geoff, the new iPods(2.0.1 Gen 3) now can queue just fine using their on-the-go playlist.

wtf are you on about? a death-row pardoned two minutes too late is one of the most ironic things i could’ve thought of

pitch control on my iPod, or on a future one for that matter would just be immense. i have tried djing a couple of times of my 10GB and it works ok up to a point. i would pay up to 50 bucks extra for this feature for sure.

and the irony is that Alanis got it wrong.
