JRiver, we're waiting...
« on: November 05, 2003, 09:51:58 am »
So what's the scoop?  Inquiring minds want to know!   ;D

You tease us with hints of the *BIG* deal, then nothing.  Hope everything is on track.

Any new tid-bits or hints?  Cryptic is fine...and fun! :)

I saw it...but it disappeared...!  :)

I don't understand the relationship or your role in a deal like that...

So does this mean that the big announcement is NOT that MusicNow is going to be incorporated into MC as a music store/premium radio service as was suggested by 10th a little while back?

Here's the thread: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=16093;start=msg109260#msg109260

I thought that was a good bit of detective work, so if it's not that, you may need to help us out a little bit.

I understand the need for secrecy and that you probably want to make a big splash with an announcement rather than let it leak out.  However, you guys let us in on so much of the development process (which is wonderful, and amazingly honest) that it seems out of character for you to hype something up and then hold back the details for so long.

Perhaps you can let us know a day (or week, or month, or season) that we should mark on our calendars...... :D :D :D

Am I correct in saying then that the big deal is one of those paying music services is going to be built into MC so we could download songs directly within it if we pay?

Probably Apple was not big enough! Microsoft probably too big, but what about a deal with Dell or HP? They might have some Music service in their pockets ready to launch!

I hope you'll understand this.  We can't talk about  it until it ships.  It may be plural.
