Here's to us.....
« on: October 14, 2003, 02:53:15 pm »

We've finally got a deal signed.  We've been working on it for about 6 months.  It's big.

So this afternoon, we're loafing around.  I just bought a couple bottles of champagne for the team, to go with the wine that Cmagic so kindly contributed.

Sorry you can't be here.  Many of you have contributed immensely to our success.

Cheers.

I've just seen the screenshot on the Apple iTunes website http://www.apple.com/itunes/. Looks very similar to MC 9.1 a few versions ago. Or am I wrong?  Either way, many congratulations to Jim, Matt, John etc

We've finally got a deal signed.  We've been working on it for about 6 months.  It's big.

I am Still Thinking This Comment Was Strategically Placed Because JimH Knew Itunes For Windows Was To Be Released.

And Was A Joke on All.

Why Would jimH Say Something In Passing And Here It Is Days Later And No Update.

You guys need to act quickly.  Lots of buzz on other forums about folks debating whether to stay with MC9 or jump to iTunes...

iTunes being RIPPED out of my system as I write this.  Very unfriendly!

Needed to re-apply 2.1 firmware and re-initialize in order to get my friendy MC9 to function again.  Sheesh!!

Here's to you MC9 - you've got it right!!

Or maybe, that you really need to go out, get an iPod, download iTunes, convert your music to  AAC, get Cable/DirectTV and get a TiVo.

Your pocketbook won't be so happy.

dingobaby,

MC9 already plays very nicely with TiVo.  No special agreement was required.

I can broadcast my entire MC9 Music and Image library to my TiVo (& quality sound system :)) through TV via my home network.

So, iPod at work, TiVo at home...all organized and enabled by MC9!!
