If someone doesnt have an iPOD what's the use of the iPODservice in the application? can we remove it?

If you don't have an iPod then I'd use a better media player like Winamp :rolleyes:

IMO iTunes is only a necessity if you have a iPod. I find it pretty sluggish and not as well designed as Winamp.

Geee, can Winamp broadcast via wireless network to a set of speakers or a stereo somewhere else in your house? And can it interface with the leading online music store? Nope, didn't think it could.

Well if Winamp started manufacturing Airport Express too then NATURALLY they'd need a program to interface the damn thing? Interfacing with a wireless broadcaster isn't any achievement, for a start you need to hardware before iTunes will even take advantage of it :rolleyes:

And can it interface with the leading online music store? Nope, didn't think it could.

Again, if Winamp wanted to open an online shop to make $$$ then yes, they could do that as well.

So here let me re-phrase that again for you

If you don't have AirPort Express/urge to pay for music then I'd use a better media player like Winamp

And FYI there are plugins which allow Winamp to do better things such as have IR remote controls, LED outputs etc. Again its all about hardware. However given the choice, I'd rather use a computer with a sweet sound system attached then re-streaming over crappy quality radio waves ;)

As much as an Apple Fanboy as I am, winamp is a better media playing on windows then iTunes currently is.

If it were not for the iPod support (and now airtunes), I would only use XMMS on OS X. iTunes is good, but I prefer a smaller and simpler player.

It's over wifi though - so it's data streaming, if I am right - which means there should be lossless quality.

Yep, it uses Apple Lossless, so if you rip things in that format originally, the Quality should be identical or better then a CD player playing the original disk. (Better meaning optical out compared to analogue on most CD players)

I had the same error when i had MSI 3 installed when i was installing Armericas Army so i uninstalled it and when back to MSI 2 and the error went away :D

Give it a go and see if the error gos away

I'm getting the same error aswell, how do I revert back to MSI 2.

I've got a feeling I installed MSI 3 because I have the beta version of that windows update thing, and I might have installed MSI 3 by accident.

edit: found it in add/remove programs...sorry

    • First NVIDIA-powered Windows laptops reportedly debut next week

      By cyberhash · Posted

      I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍

      Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • Until Dawn 2 revealed featuring new cast, new story, and new developer

      All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
