Though you can keep ITunes Music Store tracks on up to three computers, you can download them only once. I figured that since I used the same account, and the site has a record of my purchase, I could just download the tracks again at home. My first indication that there’d be trouble came when I tried to get ITunes Music Store tracks from my work PC to my home machine. But more and more, I’m finding that as slick as the ITunes Music Store is, it has a long way to go.
Plus, though the three-column music library browser has started to grow on me, I still think it’s unforgivable that it doesn’t let you collapse songs into albums and albums into artists.Īpart from that, I love the ITunes media player, and I want the music store that comes with it to work for me. So every time the programmers feel like tweaking their software, I get to download another 20MB file. For example, Apple doesn’t patch ITunes it releases whole new versions. Of course, this attention to detail makes Apple’s mistakes (and there are some significant ones) all the more glaring. I’m reasonably sure that anyone with two weeks of programming background could fix that problem in an hour or so. I mean, how can Musicmatch and Napster mess up when alphabetizing bands that begin with the? I shouldn’t have to remember if it’s “The Pixies” or just “Pixies” to find my music. The little details Apple gets right make you wonder what other companies are thinking. That’s all great stuff and it’s nothing new to Mac ITunes users. There you can change volume levels, apply equalizer settings, or choose to skip over long introductions or conclusions on a per-track basis. Right-click any track and choose Get Info, then select the Options tab. If you want to tweak a song or two, you’ll be pleased: ITunes gives you an amazing level of control.
