Timan Veteran Posted May 1, 2003 Veteran Share Posted May 1, 2003 if you download a song from their store and say ur mac crashes :rolleyes: and you lose your music, now are you able to download that song again without paying or will you need to shellup a dollar again?

The music you buy is not tied to the machine you buy it on. it's tied to your account. So you can go ahead and download it on up to three simultaneous macs.

Schmoove Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Ok this is what I was worried about. My mom and dad always double click on things where you should do a single click. Suppose you doubleclick on the buy button, what happens? Does it cost you twice? Or does it have a protection against idiotic behaviour like this? As it will come to the PC by the end of the year I would really like to know this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it will come to the PC by the end of the year I would really like to know this. I'm 99% sure they won't let you double-charge yourself. Once you guy it, you own it, regardless of context. So, attempting to buy something you already own probably won't work ;) Plus, when you click buy, a screen pops up to enter your password, so you can't physically click the button twice. You could also set it up for shopping cart mode (which I like better cause it gives recommendations) which will prevent this error as well.

Timan Veteran Posted May 1, 2003 Veteran Share Posted May 1, 2003 ok so what is stopping me from downloading this music and say sending it to you timdorr over msn (mac) will it work and if not, how does it know what machine its on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the evn show Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Each machine has to be specifically linked to the account name/password. If you trust timdorr with your name and password then he can play the file just fine. Keep in mind that with your name and password anyone can buy new songs and you will be charged for them so posting that info on the web probably isn't a good way to pirate music.

Cara Veteran Posted May 2, 2003 Veteran Share Posted May 2, 2003 According to my Apple Rep, no one is authorized to display/sell the new iPods until tomorrow (Friday)...and that any store found doing so would be reprimanded (Apple Store) or could face a loss of Apple License (Box Stores). In-fact, I got my invite to the iPod launch at the local Apple Store today which I plan to attend as well as going to the 'party' at the store afterwards. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmoove Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 A party just because for the release of some hardware..... with an afterparty even. Man you Apple people are a little weird sometimes. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frod Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 or we just like to have fun ;) i don't see how they can control the file after you download it. i mean apple says you can use it on three computers legally. burn as many copies as you want and store it on as many ipods as you want. aka, put the file on your ipod and take to wherever you want and import it. heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
