Bobby: You actually don't own the media anyway. You own the disc or physical copy. You're just buying the right to listen to it regardless of whether the media is digital or not.
iTunes is fine. If something's not on there, buy the real disc. Easy 99% of the time.
>Bobby: You actually don't own the media anyway. You own the disc or physical copy. You're just buying the right to listen to it regardless of whether the media is digital or not.
I know that. But I still own the physical copy. It's something tangible, not just a file.
I'd rather buy the disc, and if there isn't a disc, then use iTunes.
Squid: Sadly, that's how buying anything works. Although I believe that applies to any and all media. And well, I'd expect it solely to. Remember, the data was not created by you, and you're not automatically free to manipulate it. It just causes people to make their own game and attempt to sell it. That's pretty much one of the biggest reasons for this. It's also why some companies are trying to get rid of used games. They want to be payed directly, not let other people make money off of their work. I don't agree with hurting used game stores, though. But I do agree with not owning data.
Naney: Cheap music? Don't see an issue just because a few select songs aren't on there. That'll happen even on pirate sites. You can't get them all no matter what. I have yet to see an issue with them whatsoever. So it's not perfect. Nothing is.
Bobby: Oh, I feel the same way. Also, I need to talk to you in PM's...
I've never had them, so I'll take your word on them being nasty.
Also, I was at 7-Eleven last night, and I noticed some of the candy they were selling (Kinder Bueno) had a UK nutrition information label on it and not the US Nutrition Facts label. Not that there's much substantial difference between the two (all the data is in grams anyway), but I just thought it was odd that it hadn't been plastered over.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
After a Google search to refresh my memory, I can remember seeing peach loops a few times in the candy section of the grocery stores I frequent. I can safely say that I am not interested in them, but they don't really look nauseating.
To be fair, I haven't actually opened the bag, so I don't actually know that they taste nauseating. They don't look good, though. I remember I had to go back to buy an extra carrier bag, and I picked those up on a whim at the time. For some reason.
So, how does the iTunes Store work? Does apple buy the rights to sell songs from Record Companies and the Artists, and the profits are split down the middle or something?
More or less, though the profits are not nearly split down the middle. I have a friend whose songs were on iTunes briefly and he saw about a penny for each dollar song sold.

when I find the time, I'm going to go stumbling around on that sound cloud or whatever it's called. I don't intend to hand another red cent to a record label or apple ever again.

speaking of music, a while back a fellow took one of my comics and made an album cover out of it for his band up in... Portland, I think? Another fellow wrote a song titled "listening to 11.975mhz" which had nothing to do with the comic. I found out about both much later.
I couldn't be more flattered. I love that kind of stuff.
iTunes doesn't usually get certain ones, like parts of episodes, as in audio/video clips. Or atleast I think it doesn't. Not being a "song", after all.

Super Lazuli: Oh yeah, someone pointed that out to me a while back too. It's these wonderful, spontaneous things that make it all worthwhile. Also the way that guy ended it cracks me up everytime
Naney: thanks! I'll give this a listen while I work my math homework here.

Super Lazuli: I certainly will, what's the link? (sorry if I missed it up there, the stock link font color thingy for this forum is kind of hard to see)

Oh, we could.
But my stepdad is my stepdad and would not follow them.

Seriously, what were you thinking? I'm completely bewildered here.
^ What are you waiting for? Do you know?

Some music doesn't seem to be available anywhere but iTunes, though.

Bandcamp is pretty awesome, and not just cuz I'm there.
I recommend just browsing tags on there sometime, you come across cool stuff.
I was actually going to name a song on this very album that XD
ah well.
I don't see any reason why you shouldn't, how many other songs have the same name?
I'm afraid to look and see how many songs on last.fm are titled, say, "Girl I love"
Perhaps I will anyway.
Depends on whether or not I use the sample I plan on using.

You should also listen to my stuff.
If you want to, that is.
/self-promotion
But anyway, I found that amusing too. I don't recall how I stumbled across it.
