Prince has a point when he goes on about iTunes being bitches about distribution. I hate iPods as well, they're the least versatile players you can get.

Good previews to wake me up after a 16 hour flight back from Bali.

They sound ok but that's about it. Not making judgement over 30 sec clips tho.

More previews.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_...he+end+of+love

I've stuck the album previews in the album thread. They even preview the demos. Everything's ruined!

I Know The Numbers sounds pleasant enough. Quite a decent B-Side (judging by the clip). Could take or leave Lost Voices though. Still going to be buying though! I'm just excited about having a proper version of It's Not War on my iPod - the radio rip I've got is being played to death (and is quite low quality) - roll on September 12th!

I like Distractions, pretty decent. Ostopolitik is the instrumental, right? Sounds a bit Coldplay-ish to me.

Now... to listen to the album previews or not?

I caved in.... and I quite like the clips from the album. At the moment I'm affectionately calling the record 'This is My Lifeblood, Every Tiger Must Go'.

The end of that clip sounds like something from Picturesque. I don't think there's anything left of that poor song to take now.

I'm sure you're more tecky than me but I simply meant that Macs have better security and so a Windows version would require much more tweaking.

Anyway, loving Ostopolitik, amazing piano, Distractions is a little samey, bit like It's Not War actually

oh ok... I'm still not sure about that really... as we've seen in the last couple of days the biggest security problem with iTunes on either OS is actually users falling for phishing scams sadly...

Anyway, sorry Franny, that was a bit flip of me.

Ah well, you can design the best computer system ever, it'll still be sold to idiots.

And no apology required old chap!

edit: I see that the first thing in the Tech Zone involves Windows Explorer failing, typical Windows, how fitting.
