Why should you need to upload a CD to I tunes just to get it back on
your I pod?
I have several ripper programs that will convert a CD directly to MP3.
It sounds like a cheap way for Apple to get music they can sell.
I don't have to do that. I can use third party software to do that. But
I manage my music through iTunes and the music I lift off my CDs goes to
my server, not to Apple.
What kind of "managing" do you have to do. I have subsets of mine
scattered across a dozen platforms but it is all backed up on my
mirrored set, a laptop and again on a working drive.
The laptop is just my traveling machine but I keep all of the master
drives synced via my network with File Synchronizer, a fairly simple
but useful program. The last time I looked I had about 5,000 song cuts
and another 1500 comedy cuts. It is about 33 gig.
Some is very obscure stuff like Bessie Smith and Billie Holliday with
comedy including some early Lenny Bruce, the old Shelley Berman and
Bob Newhart albums. I have the original First Family album too.
Have you heard the Stan Freberg "United States" album? That is comedy
that still holds up 50 years later
My wife's music, my music, our music, different collections, different
versions, some on portable devices, all on the server. iTunes makes it
easy for me.
Thank god for $$$$Itunes$$$$ eh?
