And, for absolutely all that it is worth, I was raised on macs (after an initial stint with a Ti-99 4/A); I <em>am</em> converted. :) Saw mention of a Windows beta in the Mojo forums.

Seems a little underhanded in a Microsoft kinda way. Don't worry, Lance, you unwashed heathen savage. I won't try to convert you...yet. The truth is that now that the concept and protocol for a service such as Mojo has been cracked, it won't take long at all for a Windows equivalent. Yeah, I heard about that Safari fiasco. Seems a little underhanded in a Microsoft kinda way.

Bummer. I console myself with the knowledge that if the 0.5 beta doesn't look any worse than the 0.4, I'm a couple of hours of free time away from moving to Songbird as my main music manager. I've been generally happy with iTunes' flexibility, but am sick of loading something with the memory footprint of Photoshop to hear a song. And just this morning, that f'er Jobs tried to sneak Safari onto my computer — <em>my PC</em> — via the auto update software that comes with iTunes. And also I ramble when I'm tired.

The download speeds are really quite good. And the streaming starts almost immediately, except for on your Michael Bolton Box Set. Was the 512kbps bit rate really necessary? No, that’s not what I meant, sgazzetti.

That's what you meant by "minority of losers", right? Other than that, it is damn cool. “Progress like this always has its minority of losers…”
