A quick review of the Walmart music d/l site
Any site that has James Gang's Funk 49 can't be too bad.

3. Is it the Wal-Mart censored versions?
Or do they have a different online policy?

6. your a 100% right
Edited on Sun Mar-28-04 12:19 AM by mharris660
it is censored. I don't work and play well with censorship. Any Ideas for MP3's as well as WMA files?
So when Joe Walsh sings, "I can't sleep cuz of your big ass feet.." On The Bomber, I won't hear it? Man thats a happening song line.

8. hahahhaha
I just listened to the demo of James Gang's The Bomber and the sample they used, "I can't sleep cuz your big ass'ed feet" That cracked me up. Songs like 8 minutes long and the use the big ass lyric.

4. Speaking of Mall-Wart....
...has anyone else noticed that they've started underwriting NPR programming? One more nail in the coffin of what once had been genuine public radio! :puke:

... and Apple is a liberal-friendly company, to boot!

(Yes, it works with Windows)

7. Can I get WMA files there? The WMA format?
My new Sony Clie plays WMA and MP3's and I'm not sure how handy it will for work but hey tunes and games, thats all a man needs except loose shoes and a warm place to sleep.

9. I'm not sure...
Edited on Sun Mar-28-04 01:24 AM by parasim
about WMA's but I also have a Clie (nx70) and it's a cinch to get mp3's in there from iTunes.

on edit: However, I can't vouch for Windows, but on the Mac, I convert them easily from iTunes's native format to mp3s. Not sure if it works that way on the Windows platform, as I haven't tried that yet.

10. WMA vs MP3
I had heard WMA's are smaller and better quality not sure though, I've always used MP3's in the past.
