I gotta get some sleep…

I saw this post by Om Malik talking about Gates vs. Jobs in digital music and I started getting visions of Gates and Jobs going at it in Fight Night Round 3, the new game demoed by Gates and Ballmer. My head is spinning. The screen is going blurry. I need sleep. It’s CES week, more later.

    funny, i stumled across this site while researching an issue where my ipod seems to lose the ability to play all ITMS purchased songs every time i’m away from my authorized computer for a week. here i find one person having the exact same issue, one post instisting that “any iTMS music you have on your iPod will continue to play, no matter how long it’s been disconnected” (including very official looking link!), and one PEBKAC accusation.

    hm.

    i’ve also seen this issue mentioned at macintouch. but it’s very elusive. nothin i can find in the apple KB. the “geniuses” at the local apple store glaze over when i try to explain it to them.

    do any of those people who are dismissing the issue above actually have an ipod with ITMS music on it? have they taken it on vacation, or otherwise been away from their itunes system for over a week? can they speak from experience? i think i probably know the answer to this, but it’s worth asking.

    i’ll keep digging- if anyone has some real tech to bring to the table, that’d be nice.

    i’m getting tired of my ipod turning into a paperweight halfway through every trip i take….
