      • 2006-05-18 13806, 2006

      • Nyght
        why are you removing itunes links?
      • 2006-05-18 13833, 2006

      • catmo
        1, they are properarity you only one thing b) ugly links
      • 2006-05-18 13836, 2006

      • catmo
        c) uhm..
      • 2006-05-18 13843, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        d) they're useless :)
      • 2006-05-18 13847, 2006

      • catmo
        ja
      • 2006-05-18 13858, 2006

      • nikki_
        e) because I can't verify the content
      • 2006-05-18 13821, 2006

      • catmo
        f) I don't like itunes either
      • 2006-05-18 13829, 2006

      • catmo
        ok that doesn't coutn but

        "the DRM'd music can be purchased for download, provided you use itunes at ..."
      • 2006-05-18 13857, 2006

      • nikki_
        and also because itms:// isn't a proper accepted protocol
      • 2006-05-18 13858, 2006

      • catmo
        exactly
      • 2006-05-18 13802, 2006

      • catmo
        and that
      • 2006-05-18 13806, 2006

      • Nyght
        if they're done right others can go to them, and they are propriatary in some ways.. but, so many have itunes that doesn't seem to be a good arguemtn for those that do.
      • 2006-05-18 13806, 2006

      • catmo
        wow lots of reasons
      • 2006-05-18 13810, 2006

      • nikki_
        and most of these links are just redirects to an itms:// link
      • 2006-05-18 13825, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        the only time i think it might be appropriate is for itunes exclusive releases
      • 2006-05-18 13843, 2006

      • catmo
        oh should we make a wikipage with things *not* to link to? like amg links, itunes
      • 2006-05-18 13844, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        i wouldn't add them myself, but i wouldn't object, either
      • 2006-05-18 13856, 2006

      • Shepard
        err.. what do you expect online purchase links to be if not proprietary?
      • 2006-05-18 13808, 2006

      • nikki_
        Nyght: no, I can not load a single itunes link.
      • 2006-05-18 13814, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        i think he was referring to the format
      • 2006-05-18 13818, 2006

      • catmo
        also we coul put that a way how to add myspace links, not to fan formated ones but the offial band ones
      • 2006-05-18 13834, 2006

      • nikki_
        Nyght: they all either say "your operating system doesn't support itunes" or I get an error because itms:// is unknown
      • 2006-05-18 13837, 2006

      • Nyght
        because you don't have itunes?
      • 2006-05-18 13845, 2006

      • nikki_
        Nyght: I *can't* have itunes.
      • 2006-05-18 13853, 2006

      • catmo
        because the websire doesn't agree with borwesr/os

      • 2006-05-18 13807, 2006

      • Nyght
        okay... so, because you can't have them.. those that are done appropriately shouldn't be allowed?

      • 2006-05-18 13812, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        i think we should tighten the guidelines for these links
      • 2006-05-18 13816, 2006

      • nikki
        I just don't agree with linking to places that require a specific operating system/program combination before you can even see what it's linking to
      • 2006-05-18 13817, 2006

      • 2006-05-18 13835, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        but other than that, i'm hard-pressed to see how they're useful
      • 2006-05-18 13836, 2006

      • Nyght
        there's a lot of reasons to support it, if nothing else when people are talking tagging, that's a legal outlet for files
      • 2006-05-18 13839, 2006

      • catmo
        ojnkpjg: that I agree with
      • 2006-05-18 13846, 2006

      • catmo
        if that's the *only* place you can get it
      • 2006-05-18 13852, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        it was such a hassle trying to set up the account i gave up and gave the card away
      • 2006-05-18 13847, 2006

        but, how are you to know it's the only place you can get it if you just go blindly purging them?
