Spykes424 Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I have an ipod, and I am looking for a subscription service for legal music downloading. The lovely iTunes, does not support that. I see that Napster does for around $10.00 a month, unlimited downloading of their 500,000 WMA files. Here's My Dillema. - Napster Only WMA? iPod Does Not Support That!? - How Much EXACTLY for the premium service, and is it true for UNLIMITED downloading?!?!?! for 10 bux a month can i really download 800 songs? but in a month? - What are some options i have? Please help me with my music dillema! :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairon Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I believe that $10 a month thing isn't really downloading, but streaming the music. Stop paying, lose those songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betelgeuse Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 iPod was fashioned by the :devil: - Not here to bash Apple stuff, because I like their computers and software, but the iPod, no way. With the battery fiasco and hell, I don't think much of the look of the iPod. Don't have nothing to say about Napster, it doesn't work here in Australia.

seethru Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Betelgeuse: You're the :devil: ! I thought napster was a download service......and no the ipod doesn't support wma, though if you're that concerned about the $$$ then just convert wma to wav then to aac, you'll notice very little-to-no loss in quality, despite what people may say.

Harsesis Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 the wmas are prolly protected which stops you from converting them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betelgeuse Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 WTF are you talking about? "fiasco" :rofl: The iPod being a throw away item when the batteries get pooched. Unless you pay Apple lots of $$ to replace them with the genuine batteries after just 18months of using the device. Sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seethru Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 meh, I'll see how mine works after 18 months, if the battery is shot I will buy one off the net and install it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those brothers had their 15 minutes. I have had G2 20GB ipod for 2 years with no battery problems, and I have a g4 20GB ipod without any problems either. If you don't have any personal experienced with it, then stfu (I'm saying this even though I'm not an Apple fan.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolchan Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 ok ok, back to the original topic now :D No, you can't use songs from Napster on the ipod. Too bad the only choice is iTunes Music store. (bahh... I hope it comes to Europe soon :whistle: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolchan Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 coolchan: whats the difference between g3 and g4 (sorry offtopic again, but had to know as I'm a g3 owner) technically it's a g3. It's just that Apple doesn't sell the first g3 ipods (15gb and 30gb) anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueJawa Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 The iPod being a throw away item when the batteries get pooched. Unless you pay Apple lots of $$ to replace them with the genuine batteries after just 18months of using the device. Sucks. actually now it only costs $99 to have apple to replace it, at the time that video was made it cost $255. If you want to replace it yourself you can do it for about $50. if you get applecare for your ipod for $50 you get a new battery for free if your original one dies. Doesnt sound like a throw away item to me, plus alot of people have had theirs for longer then 18 months and it works fine, i dont see why one faulty battery should convince anyone not to buy an ipod considering thousands of people dont have any problems like that.

Liquid Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Simple answer. You download your songs with napster, since there unprotected, you use this to convert them to mp3 http://www.litexmedia.com/awmaw.exe and then you put them on your iPod and listen to your music. **if this breaks any rules plz delete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
