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.

D'oh! we must alert all of IT!

my coworker and i discovered that email is down. i called and alerted the helpdesk that they may start receiving calls and that we know about the problem while he called the networking team to check to see if it was a networking issue before calling the email guy and letting him know (he was at HOME, probably asleep... typical...)

Sandra from the helpdesk walks over to check on the problem. she says she needs to alert all of the IT department if Email is down as well as create a work order. we tell her that yes, it's a server problem, we aren't sure of the nature yet (from webmail and even outlook or thunderbird, to the layman, it doesn't seem like there is any problems, but email is NOT getting anywhere, not sending and not receiving) she says okay, and she's going to go alert all of IT.

5 minutes later something hits me. i turn to coworker ande say "wait... she's not doing what i THINK she's doing is she?!?!" we both start cracking up.

i walk over and sure enough...
She's sitting there trying to send an ALL IT Email alerting everyone that Email is down.

Personally, beyond the obvious misuse of a modulator-demodulator, I have to question the use of the OMG HIGH IMPORTANCE tag.

(And also, why did this have to go through [dept_worker] to begin with? Why not directly e-mail the tech group (which is the de-facto SOP anyway)?

What the e-mail doesn't say is that the computer in question is FUBAR and out of warranty.

It's good to have your priorities in order, I guess.

Anyway, see below.

Good Morning, Please help us with the following request and advise ASAP. Thank you.

Yeah, we'll get right on this! Start holding your breath....

Sirs:
I was not able to use your software because I have Windows 95. Until you come up with a version that can be used with W95 ... please do not send me any more emails!
