    So why are iPods some of the most popular MP3 players? Don't they hold a rather large share of the personal digital music player market?
    Because they're cool.

      Because they appeal to Mac people and trendy tw*ts.

      Also, what are the copy protections on WMA?
      Same as what you can do with FairPlay.

        Apple updated itunes to 4.1.1 today in response to complaints that it caused problems for some Win2K users (a software conflict with old CDE authoring software).

        That's a nice quick response.

          Yeah, unlike MS's slow responses to fix Windows security bugs.

              Last time I checked upgrading WMP didn't BSOD all Win2K systems on install.

              Finding and patching bugs that given fifty specific conditions under certain environments in a OS with 40M lines of code is a helluva lot more complex than a simple music playing program crashing an entire major OS distribution on install.

              It's a prime example of Apple having absolutely crap beta testing techniques.

                Ah, but you can't deny it.

                I'm not familiar with FairPlay, can you enlighten?

                It's a prime example of Apple having absolutely crap beta testing techniques.
                And how many companies do like what just happened with Apple to patch some game that the bug should have been caught in beta?

                  Can't deny what? iPods appeal to A&F, Diesel-jeans type people, and Mac heads. It's obvious.

                  You can restrict what computers can play them, for how long they can be played, how many times they can be played, how many times they can be burned, how many times you can transfer them to another computer or device, etc.

                  And how many companies do like what just happened with Apple to patch some game that the bug should have been caught in beta?
                  Companies that do that obviously have crap beta testing techniques, as well.

                    So you're saying that 30% (half are Windows users) of all MP3 players sold on the market are bought by that kind of people?!?!

                      Absolutely. I see them all the time on campus, it's a generalization that has never failed me.

                      MP3 players are rather expensive by most people's tastes, and Apple's MP3 player is the most expensive and also has the worst battery life and smallest amount of features. But it is chic. Hence, the people who buy style over substance are more apt to buy the iPod, hence the A&F/Diesel Jeans crowd and Mac users.

                        Steve Jobs, iTunes and Cheaper iPod?

                        Newsweek posts a short interview with Steve Jobs about the new iTunes Music Store for Windows. The interview touches on Apple vs. Microsoft, as well...

                              Just because Jobs says he'd love to have a $100 player but "doesn't know how" to make it, doesn't say anything about the current market situation.
