KirkBot Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Yesterday, Apple launched iTunes 10 which comes complete with Ping, a new social networking element. Muse were invited to be one of the first artists on this new service so you can find us on there right now! Click on the link below to go to Muse's iTunes Ping profile.

Stewez26 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Wannabe last.fm./Twitter. Yeah, I signed up. I always upgrade iTunes, because I can. It looks alright, but I can't see me using it a whole lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tofu Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I don't have an account but wow, from what I can tell, it's iTunes's Twitter ripoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lusesita7 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I've downloaded ITunes 10 but I can't find how to download (or whatever) Ping. Can anybody help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarrieB Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I just looked at it, and I don't like the fact that iTunes can "look" at your listening library on your computer, including music you have downloaded from elsewhere apparently. Plus I guess they gather any personal information people put on their profiles. It's obviously only for marketing purposes but it creeps me out a bit! I don't know whether Twitter can "look" at your computer. Big Brother are Watching You. PS It's also occurred to me that this is possibly a way to encourage music fans to register on iTunes in order to identify illegal downloaders, not that I have any worries on that score but...

sparkle19 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I've downloaded ITunes 10 but I can't find how to download (or whatever) Ping. Can anybody help me? It should be on the homepage of the itunes store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lusesita7 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 It should be on the homepage of the itunes store. I haven't got it there. But I will try to find it I have one more question, when it's in ITunes Store section, do I have to pay to use Ping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tofu Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I think Ping is free... not entirely sure because I don't want to make an account, but you can still see Muse's profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurenn1 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Just gonna pimp myself for the sake of it. Bernadette Manaois on this Ping whatever. Any oppurtunity I get I have it all set up as well now, hopefully I'll figure it out a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefish Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 PS It's also occurred to me that this is possibly a way to encourage music fans to register on iTunes in order to identify illegal downloaders, not that I have any worries on that score but... I kind of doubt it, if that were true everyone like me who knows other much better audio players exist (foobar, winamp, etc) would get off our asses and use them instead. And then it would just be too inconvenient to buy from iTunes. ... I miss iTunes 7. Or was it 8? Whichever one was before Genioooooooous arrived. Edit: http://www.apple.com/itunes/whats-new/ wow, there really isn't anything interesting this time around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: http://www.apple.com/itunes/whats-new/ wow, there really isn't anything interesting this time around I don't understand what you mean. I meant that the extra goodies from Artists provided by Ping might encourage people to download invasive programmes from iTunes, who wouldn't otherwise. I saw that in their privacy statement they have a get out, in that they will provide personal information if requested by governments and if there are legal proceedings. Also the statement from their regulator regarding privacy has a get out regarding social networking in that it's privacy is not regulated. Maybe I'm reading to much into it and it's common practice. I don't really know much about such things except that I know there has been a debate regarding free listening and illegal downloading and stuff happening at a government level. I don't support illegal downloading btw, I'm just uncomfortable about the ever increasing monitoring of our lives by commercial companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicalteapot Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 tbh im the opposite with the illegal downloading stuff. I'm not worried at all. If itunes wanted to tag themselves as the police and arrest/ charge millions and millions of subscribers, they'll lose so much business for it. I'm personnally estatic about the new ping feature and double happy face when I was able to immediately follow muse Once it really kicks off, like others have said, it'll be twitter, but totally music related XD WIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoodyJ Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I'm actually upgrading my iTunes just out of curiosity... I just did and it screwed up the look of my music library. I can't say I'm impressed with this Ping thing. I have yet to encounter any content from the artists I like that I haven't already seen on their Twitter, website or Facebook pages. Maybe that will improve over time. ... I miss iTunes 7. Or was it 8? Whichever one was before Genioooooooous arrived. I dislike iTunes 10 and its ugly new icon with the black music note on blue cd background. But most of all, I really dislike that all folders are now the same nondescript color.

Tofu Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Yeah, the new icon is ugly. I wasn't really bothered by anything other than appearance, though, because my music library is a fucking mess to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
