I have plenty of technology, thanks. I also know how to use it. I was a ham radio operator very likely long before you were born, as well 8-) I know how computers work--and sometimes don't. I've just--through experience--become extremely wary of much-touted "up"grades that are worse than earlier versions of the same software. > > Recommendation: say goodbye to iTunes and learn to play the vielle � > roue or sackbuts or something like that. No, I play 13th century music on a harp or sometimes on a tinwhistle. My guitar is too modern for the music I prefer nowadays. I also sing in medieval German. I even have 26 hours of medieval music on my iPod. I got a couple of the albums from the iTunes store, believe it or not! -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.mosaictelecom.com/~erilarlo

And what about the ones that aren't? -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me. E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter.

I can count the ones that improve on one hand. Some work adequately once I hide the useless stuff, but it's still useless padding. I broke down and downloaded the new iTunes and than had to hide all its extra garbage, but it looks as if it will perform adequately and I can now access my account, but not for the purpose I was hoping to use access for. One of the pieces on my most recent purchase cuts off short of the end and I wanted to complain, but the iStore apparently has no customer service. I should not be surprised, should I? -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.mosaictelecom.com/~erilarlo

Yes you should, the iTunes store has very helpful support people they have gone beyond my expectations on three occasions, one was getting help for my nephew and his account. |
