What should be the Apple iPod syncronization Bill of Rights?

[jan kowalski]

APPLE iPOD USERS' BILL-OF-RIGHTS:
1. You have the right to sync to any computer at any time anywhere
2. You have the right to back up your iPod collection to any computer disk
3. You have the right to back up your iPod collection to any CD/DVD disc
4. You have the right to sync from any disk or disc back to the iPod
5. You have the right to sync on any platform (mac, winxp, linux, etc.)
6. You can own that computer or it can be your friend's computer
7. You have the right not to install any software on that computer
8. You have the right to store those legitimate MP3 songs anywhere
9. Any proposed solution must employ wholly legitimate freeware
10. None of these rights may at any time be infringed upon by anyone

My current use model (i.e., SharePod on Windows) fits only nine (9) of the
ten (10) basic rights above so I am still searching to meet that tenth
unalienable iPod users' right (works on Mac, Windows, and Linux).

What solution meets all ten basic iPod users' rights?
What amendments should be added to this basic iPod users' bill of rights
that I didn't think of yet?

Let's share ideas.

I thought everyone knew that consumers have no rights.:-(

You got the rights you voluntarily agreed you would get when you
signed up and/or bought the thing. Anything else is trying to rewrite
history.

Why are you posting this to the microsoft.public.windowsxp.general
newsgroup? If you don't have an XP question then this post is OT at
best and shouldn't be made to this group.

I think the OP would suggest that group is appropriate because of the
5th "right" and because the OP apparently uses Windows. Or she could
be trolling.

Humm, "frugal-living" and "iPOD" don't seem to be part of the same
thought process in my book.

OK, so how does a consumer who doesn't know a Unix from
a guy with no balls buy a Microsoft-less PC and make it
work nowadays?

Best I can do is point him at the Dell Small Business Open
Desktop big gray button -- and then when it's shipped,
it apparently has to be installed using the supplied disc
(FreeDOS).

The good Ubuntu will ship him a disc as well, if he
knows whom to call. The bad I doubt that copy of
FreeDOS has a usable network stack or web browser, though
I'll admit it would be nice to be proven wrong...

You have the right to not buy an iPod. There. Now rights 1-10 are
obsolete. We're done now, right?

I'd like to see a Zune User's Bill of Rights.

That would be the right to get a refund.

You have the right to buy an electronic device that is *brown*.

'Nuff said.

 

[Randall Ainsworth]

You have the right to buy an electronic device that is *brown*.

That has a user base well into double digits...uses a proprietary
format...has a non-intuitive method for buying music...is something
that sucks.

You can do #5 if you change the iPod's firmware (for Windows and Mac).

As far as I know, everything else on your list can be done if you know
how.

Lets's not. I'm tired of your repetitive trolling on this subject. Just
get on and use the damned thing, or sell it to someone else who will.
