Would there be a problem if I checked out a CD at my local library and ripped it for my personal listening?

My opinion is that if you're just trying the music out, its fine, and also if you really can't get hold of your own copy of something old/obscure, its not too much of a problem. H…

Sure, that makes sense. I have a collection of over 1,000 CDs and have ripped songs for my own use on my iPod, but I want music from some collections from the 1920's and 1930's. I …

Wow. So I get called an idiot and a pirate for PURCHASING music at a site I didn't know was run by pirates. SWELL! I was always told Mac users were open-minded and non-judgementa…

I've heard from a kid who claims to have a 512MB shuffle, that it won't play an mp3 that is longer than 25 mins. Can anyone verify or check this?? I have no idea why they would l…

Even if that was true, that would only affect the minorty of users. Spoken & Word tracks is definitely NOT the main 'music' genre of the target audience of the Shuffle. -t

if that were true, it would be a problem for many symphonies and chamber works. movements of 30+ minutes are not uncommon. in any case, i highly doubt it's true.

this would be extremely untrue. Also think of how many DJ sets are out there. apple would be in a world of hurt if this were true.

I personally enjoy listening to dj sets that I download weekly off the net. That was my motivation for ordering the suffle. I sold my G3 iPod because I never had it full of songs…

That would definitely just suck. And I would consider it to be the type of problem that Apple should fix, rather than blame customers or tell customers to buy another product.
