Right. Didn't think of that. My bad.

We have unprotected WMA content, the abandoned PlayForSure DRM, and Zune DRM content, a worst bag than Apple's. Use the MS APIs and you play back their stuff, use QuickTime APIs and you can play back QuickTime content including ITMS content.

If you read what Jim wrote a couple of posts back WMA playback wasn't intended so it still doesn't matter that Microsoft is worse (I'm not saying if it is that or not).

Me sense is that Jim is only going to go the MSFT route anyway unless it turns out that there is huge demand for QuickTime formats.

Again, back up a bit and stop assuming everybody's bullying your precious Apple – Neither WMA or AAC playback is in.

Me too! iTunes on Windows is a glacial experience, I don't know how people put up with it. Oh wait, they already put up with Windows ...

Yeah, you're such a comedian.

Yeah, you're such a comedian. Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think. "We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." /Robert Oppenheimer on witnessing the first thermonuclear detonation in history.
