Not an iOS user but still a PJ fan left in the cold by 10C

Whoa whoa, wait a minute, talk about burying the lead, I now have multiple vampire applications on my PC??? How do I use these apps? It's not going to start downloading those shitty Twilight movies now is it? :evil:

Everyone's a critic looking back up for linux.

The whole world doesn't revolve around you. Get with the program and get iTunes, or buy yourself the Pearl Jam Sessions jacket.

I'm an iOS and iTunes user who has been burdened with their complex and inefficient system for years. They have collectively cast a permanent shadow over what was once a glorious existence. I finally have a morsel rolled my way and you have the balls to come on here and cause a ruckus? Just be thankful you had the fortitude to break Apple's shackles, find it elsewhere, and allow the rest of us lemmings to mire in our worthless muck.

I'm also frustrated and left out in the cold by 10c. Some of us don't listen to music digitally, on CD, or vinyl.
My car strictly has a cassette deck and don't understand why 10c doesn't offer this as an option. Now there is no way I can listen to my favorite band. Thanks 10c! :arrow:

Hahahahahahaha

ITunes was designed on Linux, and Mac IS Linux.. If you use a Linux system, you're essentially USING a foundation Apple system, because the original Apple/IBM systems were and still ARE Linux based. But yes there are Linux systems for general PCS as well. As for vampire software that's a new one..

I'm an avid Apple user, however I am not a fan of iTunes at all.

But I'll gladly open iTunes to listen to the new Pearl Jam album.

Would like it if I could partake in the official stuff that the band is doing on iTunes. However I do not use any OS from Apple nor do I ever spend money on iTunes. There are other apps, stores and operating systems in the world, please don't support a monopoly.

I've sent emails to the fanclub about this but they come back with no response other than a thank you and they are looking into it.

Hi Brian, I'm just wondering where you're from. Here in Toronto, I know my ISP is part of a duopoly who very clearly partake in price fixing (whether they'll admit it or not). Next, when you come on here, you've come to a website with files hosted by Amazon Web Services - guys who have what's dangerously close to a monopoly on plenty of markets. When you (presumably) bought your Lightning Bolt album, you bought an album belonging to the label of Universal, and which is being distributed by Monkeywrench's pals, Target, in the US! Ever heard of them? Oh, and I would imagine you paid with a credit card - Visa, perhaps? You want to live a life without monopolies? Good luck. Stop fighting the power, go download the world's most profitable company's free, no strings attached media player, and listen to your favourite band's rockin' new album.

Oh, here's a link, in case it makes your life easier. http://www.apple.com/itunes/

Well said

Shit, I downloaded Itunes so fucking fast on my wife's laptop (mines in the shop) knowing how much bitching ill get from her and streamed the SHIT out of album. It was fucking worth it bro.

I have an old version of itunes on my PC from a while back when I wanted to check out itunes U.
At the time I was using a friend's account as I don't use itunes or any of the apple crap. I searched for 'Pearl Jam' found the lightening bolt album but I'm not seeing any free streaming anything anywhere. Is it something that you have to be signed into an account to get?

pretty sure you need the most updated version. the older version probably doesn't have the feature.

ok buddy. guess you're shit out of luck then.

I'm guessing you think it's funny because you're completely ignorant on the subject.

iTunes will drop the following into Windows:
-Bonjour*
-Mobile device service*
-iTunes Helper*
-Quicktime + associated browser plugins
-QTTask*
-Apple Application Support
-Apple Software Update*

*runs constantly without user interaction

None of this is necessary at all to actually run iTunes, nor do any of these programs improve the user experience in some way. Generally when people bitch about how Windows runs slowly, it's because a bunch of stuff like this is running in the background for no real purpose.

Laru88 · October 2013

I have Windows and use iTunes, only because I have very few other choices. The "free" stream is not working for me. It stops one minute into the first song. I read here that you have to have the latest version (WHY?!?!) so I downloaded that. Still didn't work. Rebooted my computer, tried again. STILL DIDN'T WORK!!!

Apple is a terrible....unless you want to convert every one of your devices to Apple, they make things so incredibly hard. I downloaded the new Sabbath album when it came out. At the time it was the only way to get the bonus tracks (anyone say monopoly?)....all I want to do is burn it to a CD, but no, it's gotta be an MP4!!

Why can't pearljam.com just stream the album on the site, like they did with "Backspacer"?? So frustrated right now!

I am upset that there's no 8-track version

it's a conspiracy dammit

Not to be a nerd, but that is not true. Mac OSX is NOT LINUX. Mac OSX is based on the Mach Kernel and uses parts of FreeBSD and NetBSD which are decedents of Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) UNIX. In fact Linus Torvalds, the creator of the LINUX kernel criticized Apple for going with the Mach Kernel. Both Linux and BSD are "Unix-like" so they have that in common, but Mac OSX definitely isn't LINUX.
