Tunes For Me

November 29th, 2004 - 09:27 | 3 comments

I needed to install Quicktime this morning, and headed over to the apple site to download the latest version. Turns out you can’t download Quicktime on its own any more, it only comes bundled with iTunes. Cunning I have nothing against iTunes, so have installed that too. First thoughts are that it looks like it could be quite expensive. I saw a few singles on the first page that I thought ‘ooh, I’d quite like that’. And at 79p each I may get tempted. Thinking about it, I wonder if that’s including VAT…’course, I don’t actually have an MP3 player. Yet. Maybe I should ask for an iPod for christmas.

This may turn out to have been a mistake.

Yep it includes VAT …it’s surprising quite how much money you can spend if you have it set to 1-Click buying =P

Paying for music downloads?! Bah, in my day…

I dislike iPods. Not because of what they are really, but because its like no one knew what an mp3 player was, and now everyone has an iPod…its becoming the sellotape of the music industry. Plus, weren’t they available for a long time before they became popular. If I bought one today I would be a late adopter, despite knowing about the whole thing for ages. So, its my pda and various CF cards for me for the immediate future.

Actually, you can install QuickTime without iTunes… you just have to look carefully So carefully, in fact that I had to look to find it again:
