techrecovery | Why won't my music work FTW [lifehackers and /.ers move along]

Apparently, Apple is conducting a very lucrative experiment. See how many people will download this player onto Windows and actually let it go through their music libraries & convert all those ripped CDs to .m4a or even [ghasp] Lossless.

Has Stevie B thown another chair yet? Is this old news? If this is a dupe, my apologies... Long week of actual work away from the Internet.

"oh yeah, and we'll go through your library & add cover art if ya like..."

I wonder if M$ will create a "Virus Removal Tool" on this one..

/admins feel free to punt this if it is too far off topic or too old ;-)

--edit: oy, I guess I should have thrown my [/sarcasm] tag to this one.. With lusers thinking OMGFREEMOVIES!!, they'd d/l iTunes right away on their windows machines & want it to work for all their music. Then they would notice that album covers could be added to their songs and CoverFlow (once a separate application, now a part of iTunes) will show said album covers in its shiny glory. Again, sorry for misunderstandings. If anything, you all had somebody to vent at today.
