I buy off Amazon; I import into iTunes...far easier interface for me. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 11, 11:21 4
- Yeah, I aggregate all my content on the server at home and use iTunes as my front end. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Sep 11, 11:31
- In the rare event I buy music I also do this. Amazon is usually far cheaper for MP3s -- nm - ty97 Sep 11, 11:27
- I do this as well as use Google Music and import in Itunes. -- nm - Remlik Sep 11, 11:25
- The occasional $ off MP3 purchases help too :) -- nm - oblique Sep 11, 11:22

Speaking of betting: has anyone written on the chances of an NFL game being thrown with these new refs? - Beaker Sep 11, 11:08 30
- this guy kinda hinted at it. he's brilliant -- (link) - dogbert Sep 11, 11:17 [Backboard]
- I'm less concerned about corruption than incompetence, which could even more catastrophic. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 11:13
- Well, there were official apologies issued to St. Louis and Oakland today so... -- nm - David Sep 11, 11:09 27
  - What were they apologizing for in each game? -- nm - amoxy Sep 11, 11:12 16
    - See below. -- nm - David Sep 11, 11:14
    - general sucktitude. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 11, 11:12 14
      - Well, then why nothing to Arizona and San Fran? - amoxy Sep 11, 11:13 13
        
        because they won. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 11:15 11
        
        so why bring more attention it. -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 11:16 9
        
        I don't follow. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 11:18 8
        
        no need to apologise cause they won so why apologise and just open that kettle of fish to go along with the other bad calls -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 11:19 7
        
        I'm still honestly not sure which side you're on. - Reagen Sep 11, 11:23 5
        
        no side. just a reasoning as to why they wouldn't. Why bring it backup when it didn't swing the outcome - Beaker Sep 11, 11:28 2
        
        This situation has nothing to do with replacement refs. It's been modus operandi in the league for as long as I can remember. - David Sep 11, 11:30 1
        
        ahh gotcha -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 11:31
        
        I think he's just trying to understand. A lot of people don't realize Tuesdays are league apologies day. -- nm - David Sep 11, 11:25 1
        
        yeah there's no intended snark in my message. I just am not clear. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 11:26
        
        Because the NFL (and all college football conferences) always send apologies when the losing team gets jobbed. - David Sep 11, 11:21
        
        Yup. -- nm - David Sep 11, 11:16
        
        no one likes Arizona and San Fran. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 11, 11:13
  - what good does that do, really? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 11, 11:11 9
    - It doesn't. St. Louis for no reason had the clock stopped with 2:37 to go. - David Sep 11, 11:13 8
      - Ahh, I hadn't heard about the St Louis clock stoppage and didn't see the end of the Raiders game - amoxy Sep 11, 11:30
      - You're entitled toa play after the game ends if the other team can run out the clock effectively? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 11, 11:19 3
        
        On a punt, the receiving team has to be the first one to touch the ball. - David Sep 11, 11:23 2
        
        that was the other bizarre thing. - Reagen Sep 11, 11:25 1
        
        RIGHT?! -- nm - David Sep 11, 11:26
      - The rule ignorance is baffling to me. You would think the NFL would have reps at each game in communication with the refs just for those types of - oblique Sep 11, 11:15 2
        
        They clearly did which is why the games were so much longer last weekend. - David Sep 11, 11:19

truman, from B2. Do you have any equity? A home eq line of credit was what we did when we had to replace our AC. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 11:08 5

Ok...so groin or Will...what would you say is a good asking price on this Addison Reed 1/1 auto? -- nm - Jim Sep 11, 11:02 9
- I am so out of touch on pricing for this shit, I have no clue. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 11, 11:06 8
  - And baseball ain't my bag, baby. I would think a 1/1 auto of a rookie who is closing for a (currently) 1st place team would be sought after. - Jim Sep 11, 11:08 7
    - Honestly, I'd check eBay, see what's reasonable there and go with it. Closers are normally useless. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 11, 11:18 2
      - I see some autographed printing plates of his selling for anywhere from $70 to $150. - Will Hunting Sep 11, 11:33 1
        
        So $60 + $3 for shipping should be a bargain...I think I'll go with that! -- nm - Jim Sep 11, 11:39
    - I will give you $10 for it. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 11:09
    - I do not think relievers not named Mariano carry any value. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 11, 11:08 2
      - That's kinda how it seems. And while it's cool to have a scarce card like this...with no pricing, it's a hard sell. - Jim Sep 11, 11:11 1
        
        I would be curious, as a homer, to take it off your hands.... - groiny Sep 11, 11:12

Seriously. How does ST not know how to help me? What am I supposed to do with my Amazon Cloud Drive/Cloud Player now? - oblique Sep 11, 10:49 29

      - Right now I have 3000+ imported. What will happen on 10/5 when my trial expires? I guess I should just figure on deleting all the imported songs and - oblique Sep 11, 11:04 6
        
        I think your peace of mind was worth the $2 a month you've stressed over this. -- nm - David Sep 11, 11:10 3
        
        I can't see paying both services and the iTunes version gets me cloud music on more devices incl. the AppleTV - oblique Sep 11, 11:11 2
        
        Amazon is much more consumer friendly. Your short term convenience could prove regrettable down the road. -- nm - David Sep 11, 11:16 1
        
        See, with my plan it's genius because if I'm buying all my music at Amazon and matching it on iTunes - oblique Sep 11, 11:18
        
        I don't have an archive folder. From what I remember of an e-mail reminding me that I needed to decide, amazon will just delete stuff down to the lim - CovingtonCat Sep 11, 11:09 1
        
        Wait, I have an archived music folder on my cloud drive. It has copies of amazon purchased music that's also in my player. - CovingtonCat Sep 11, 11:15
    - The first step is to email Amazon and say... - David Sep 11, 10:56 12
      - I had to stop trying to figure this out lest I put my foot through the laptop. - Mel Profit Sep 11, 11:02 9
        
        Late to the party... what change? -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 11:09 4
        
        Amazon split their cloud drives and in the process also split their music cloud drive. - David Sep 11, 11:10 3
        
        Hmm. I just use mine for storing back-ups for the music I buy, so sounds like I am okay. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 11:42
        
        Probably taking a cue from Vudu. -- nm - Max Sep 11, 11:24 1

        In trying to jump the guy 18 months ago, this is the problem they created. - David Sep 11, 11:07 2

        I don't mind it only because I already subscribe to iTunes Match to get all my music synced on my iDevices - oblique Sep 11, 11:05
