RESPONSE TO APPLE ARTICLE (Score 1)

Rohin Kasudia said... Technically, the effect of Apple increasing their ipod and itunes products is because people like the service and are willing to pay for it. Look at it from a practical aspect, people want to listen to music, they dont want to worry about transfering the music to a new device in the future 5 to 10 years from now. Thus,when the time comes for a need, then software will come about to accomodate. More so, if they really needed to get around the encording problems, why not just burn a cd with itunes, and then rip it with a rip program to mp3 format. That is easier than going out of your way on third party networks, like bittorrent, trying to find your music, trying to make sure you get all the tracks, and then making sure its good quality. For the average customer, they could care less how much technology you use. They dont have the time, its about efficiency and thats what apple has got. Its streamlined, thus if one, like you, find a better way for you as opposed to other people. It does not necessarily mean that is good for everyone else. - Rohin Kasudia-
