The substantive debate was lost a long time ago. I wanted to discuss the effects the iTunes Music Store would have on Microsoft's plans for WMA, but that got jacked pretty quickly onto the irrelevant argument about the meaning of "open" standard.

I'm not sure it affects it much at all.

40+ Portable audio devices support WMA, 1 supports Apple's AAC and it's got a huge price premium, relatively poor battery life, and run-of-the-mill audio quality.

WMA enjoys far wider support, lower costs, more features, and more marketshare.

i linked to it already. the /. review? yeah, it's in one of my earlier posts.

oh, i did speed up itunes, sorta. i shoved it to my alternate desktop (nvidia nview), so it doesn't really have to draw all of it (i just have to avoid using that second desktop).

'course, i can't control it then, either.
