You can't download your iTunes songs (well, once, but you have to ask nicely) if you lose them, so I would imagine not.

Hmm.... let see... you have one copy on your PC/Mac and one copy on your iPod. I would say that's more of a backup plan than most people have. So if your iPod bites the bit then you still have a copy on your PC that you can sync your new iPod with. | |

| Re: one problem said by hayabusa3303 :said by Pictor Guy : You missed the point are you really going to keep 100 movies on your HD? What happens if your hard drive fails? Are you able to burn a copy to DVD? But whats the point. Low grade dvd video. Someone might. And if your HD fails then you backup from your iPod. Low grade DVD video? Better than VHS or VideoCD. Some people may be okay with that. The lower resolution TV shows that they've been selling for a while now have done very well. And what's to keep someone from backing up the video to DVD to later transfer back to a computer? As long as the other PC is authorized you should be okay. | |

| Rule #1. You download it.
Rule #2. You don't own it.
Rule #3. Watch it.
Loss, deletion, hardware failure, etc, is the viewer's responsibility.
You are paying for Instant Gratification.
That is why I like Netflix. I get decent selection, and if timed properly, I can get movies at about less than $2 ea. And no late payment penalty (that comes out of the increase in movie cost-per-return rate).
Apple's idea is not new. Just backed better with cooler toys. I am more intrigued by the iTV thing. I mean, if someone hacks it into a DVR or Slingbox-type of thing that allows iTunes to convert a DVD to a media file, and wifi through home to iTVs, well heynow! Ofcourse my PC and Xbx360 do that now.
BTW, I wanted to see a 30G NANO. Samsung has the chips since May. Give me instant-on Nano-pod. No delays. Fast on and fast off. Nice screen and 24hr battery...not bad. But someday...maybe when Toyota get's off its collective, arrogant arse and starts making iPod interfaces in ALL their cars (not just some Lexus models) | |

| Re: burn not just iTV I can burn music onto CD using Itunes, I would guess you can burn the DVD as well?
I have been downloading video (music) for a little while now, since they started doing it, and I can also put that on CD.
Itunes will complain if I do it 3 or so times but it still lets me do it. | |

| and I'm betting even if you used S-Video out, that wonderful Quicktime window won't quite even go to fullscreen!
If you could play these back fullscreen through a tv-out, and it looked ok on SDTV, it MIGHT be worth $3/movie or $10/subscription... oh wait, Apple won't do that.
Soooooo, what am I missing here?
You can't do a darn thing with these that's worth a darn!
..I especially do NOT like quicktime's INability to do Full Screen video like ...EVERY other player out there...
This is going to flop miserably. | |

How's the iPod and the iTunes Music Store doing now? It is actully doing bad now, a few days ago it was said that Ipods sells droped in HALF in one quarter. That is a huge drop no matter how you spin it.
No one said Ipod was not a push to Mp3 player sales, its just now they are behind in other players for price vs performance/features out there of others. You can't say that about itunes since that pretty much goes hand in hand with the sale of a ipod to a normal user. Itunes is a failure from the start, everyone knows this, its just it was something people had to use with Ipods when first came out. | |

Can't say they are "doing well". Can't care what they are doing, in fact.
The only people this overpriced scheme will appeal to are the Appleites, but they'd drink Jobs' piss and call it wine.

| Movie resolution??? Who wants to pay for low quality movies anyway? Can you transfer the movies to other devices? If not, I would rather pay for DVD movies. Of course, they cost a little bid more but the quality is higher and they can be ripped and tranfered to other dvd devices. | |

| rentals? I think it would be a better market if they offered rentals and the files would delete themselves from your computer in a few days.
But as far as iTunes 7 goes, its the laggiest one yet. If I try to listen to music while playing games it lags to hell. I hope that is fixed soon. | |

| Re: rentals? In a way a rental service would have to force delete your drmed rentals. Because no matter what any drm scheme will be cracked, so if you hold onto your rentals long enough you will be able to strip them of their drm. Sure microsoft will fix the drm in record time, but that would only effect new downloads. | |

| Hmm While I'm a fan of many things Apple, this movie store is a very poor idea at its current price point.
Maybe if movies were $3 or so I'd buy one. I'm thinking this store will be popular with the bored rich people out there who have so much money that they don't know what to do with it all.
I'll stick with Netflix.

| How is Apple falling behind Apple is still by far the best seller of MP3 players. People don't buy iPods every day or every time a new one comes out, maybe after 3 years or so. I just gave a look at the sanddisk some1 posted above me, which was said to be superior. I looked at the specs, and since the new iPod pricing it's the same as the sandisk, it has 22g more storage. It still looks like shit unlike apple's iPod. It doesn't support many video formats which is also iPod's lacking point (which means converting videos). All in all for 250 bux the new iPod beats the competition outta the window.
I use my iPod as a data disk at some times holding some little blt of programs I need when doing a fresh windows install.
The zens from Creative are now 50 dollars more expensive, and have features that are beaten by apple right now.
iTV has a nice design to fit a living room, and has a great interface, will I buy one? probably not. | |

| salt in the wound I'd rather see a more robust competition for Portable Media Players!
IMHO, I think just about every other maker should have CUT PRICES IMMEDIATELY and made a bee-line for better products if they don't already have some out in the marketplace!!!
Otherwise its more of the same... 85% IPOD, and the rest of lesser players which cannot get a foothold in shaping the technology much like an early Intel rival AMD.
Where is the competition's price cut response?
Surely, the 30gb Creative Zen needs additional price trimming just to keep up, NO? | |

| Isn't $15 what you pay for the DVD movie? No copy protection + better quality + hard copy + extras > lossily compressed copy + DRM + digital copy
But they cost the same.
I don't get it. It seems like a no brainer what the better deal is. A used DVD would be better for cheaper, a new DVD would be better for the same price, and if you're into all you can eat-ish deals, usenet beats 'em all.
