L’achat de musique sur l’iTunes Store, c’est sans DRM et téléchargeable réellement hors-ligne ?
Certains artistes n’offrent la possibilité d’achat numérique que là-bas, et j’ai l’impression qu’il faut avoir le store d’Apple donc un appareil Apple…
At a personal level, maybe using algo-driven & ad-supported social media seems fine. That's really what most media is. Radio & TV have always done this, deciding what comes next. Most streaming options will auto play something now too. Fine.
The problem is at the collective level. A world where a few corporations have so much control over what everyone pays attention to is not a healthy society. It's bad for democracy. Breaking this cycle is why the #fediverse matters. Here, we decide together.
SO - I bought Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes on iTunes and was appalled by the crappy encoding. This amazing film was rendered into a blocky, cyberdelic nightmare of hanging faces and shifting backgrounds. I complained.
Apple told be to get bent.
SO... I complained again.
And they caved.
Never give up. Be the squeaky wheel and you will get the grease, baby.
Solarpunk Presents is a two-person volunteer operation, and while we're passionate about bringing the world solarpunk content to enjoy, our combined enthusiasm doesn't pay our hosting fees - or compensate us in any way for all the research, writing, recording, and editing that we do ;) Not to mention providing edited transcripts! We're hoping to make this a self-sustaining enterprise without resorting to ads, but we need help.
Non-monetary support means a lot to us also: we love feedback, so please do take a moment to write us a review on iTunes or your podcatcher of choice. If you have a favourite episode, please share it! Word of mouth recommendations to colleagues, friends and family is not only helpful to podcasts, but helps the solarpunk movement as a whole.
Two years before the iPhone was released, Apple partnered with Motorola on the first iTunes-enabled phone. The ROKR could only hold about 100 songs, but it was revolutionary. Unless you compare it with the iPod Nano, which was released the same day.
Despite learning a lot about computers when I was a kid from the Apple Performa my family had, I've never been an Apple guy, despite owning an iMac once myself. I also really didn't like iTunes, so I never had an iPod.
Back around 2005ish when people were mostly getting iPods and before I got my beloved brown Zune (that someone later stole) I had a wild and wacky (and physically HUGE in comparison) DMC XClef mp3 player that looked like this. It had a LOT of storage space for the time, for the price, and had no software like Apple or Microsoft packaged in with their mp3 players. You didn't need it! You would just plug it up to your computer and transfer the damn files, as it should be. A method I use to this very day with my phones.
And I just looked it up to compare, 5th generation iPods around 2005 had about 30 or 60GB drives, these XClefs had 80 to 100GB. I had a friend joke saying I'd never fill it up - and I had to tell him I already pretty much had. 😂
