Computers: February 2006 Archives

So,..I discovered this nasty little thing called iTunes Essentials and my wallet screamed in pain.  But how could I not go crazy?  It had all the things that I was hoping my/our little company would do - offer baskets full of tunes that represent a genre of music.  Say, for example, you wanted to check out the "new" punk scene while respecting the ones that carved the path: enter The Punk Set, and so on.  iTunes has done a great job of it too, by offering 3 levels of depth and a 4th that includes all their picks.  My two complaints are: (1) I don't exactly need every song in the list as it duplicates a few already in my library, and iTunes doesn't give you a method to de-select the ones you don't want; and (2) they don't give you a discount for purchasing the whole basket.  That would be nice.  But, a few hundred dolla' later and I'm set for my next party, backyard bash, etc.  Way cool. :-)

While searching for more "essentials" I played: Hey Jealousy from the album "New Miserable Experience" by Gin Blossoms.
