lol!

buy it chen so i can come over... greez up my nutz and slip slip slippity slide them on your itouch!

this really does just seem like an excuse for apple to cross promote itunes and major label artists. serious

looks great! i never bothered with last.fm but always sorta wanted to. Now i can show off my uber-hip music listening to others.

yeah and get recommendations like lady gaga, the beatles and U2! you can even follow rick rubin!

maybe they will add these missing features later? but whats the point? they want everyone else to see the stats they see by purchasing? do that think people will buy from itunes more just to show a song to their friends? wtf apple?

first it was my iphone 4, and now its itunes 10 that wont work on tiger? yet all these things work on fucking XP? WTF

i literally just made my account, so i might be doing it all wrong. but i am pretty convinced that this is linked up with the itunes store purchases and nothing else. i added a bunch of artists to my "likes" and it says there's a ten song maximum for the display in the upper right corner. and then it does a little status update a la facebook or twitter saying that i liked something. but i can't really see the usefulness in this versus the scrobbling i can do with last.fm where everything is automated. this is just kind of a pain in the ass.

same experience here. i dont buy from itunes either. if this is it then i am not gonna participate. why would i want to waste my time digging into profiles of music i already enjoy just to prove to people that i like it by clicking in the itunes store. am i missing something here?

tiger is 5 years old. Spend the 20 bucks and upgrade to snow leopard, it's well worth it.

No. You can purchase snow leopard at 30 (sorry, got the price wrong earlier) dollars regardless of previous OS. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA&mco=MTc1MTEzNjY

The upgrade from Tiger to Leopard was 30 dollars and I think (memory fails me) that you could only get Leopard as an upgrade.

No you can make a clean full installation with leopard 'update' the update in the label is just bogus

oh. ok. Couldn't remember. Moot point though...:)

thanks, good to know. i read "Snow Leopard is an upgrade for Leopard users and requires a Mac with an Intel processor." and assumed that meant i was required to be running leopard first.

Snow Leopard does require an intel processor, that's for sure.

my favorite thing about itunes ping and genius and all those other things is that you need a credit card to use them. which i dont have.
