I'd avoid the skins from them though

Bought a new battery (£9.99) for a 3rd generation 20GB iPod to fit myself. The poor things been in a box for about 5 or 6 years, but I thought it would be fun to see if I can get it working. At this point it's practically an antique!

Alright…  who has messed with iTunes Match?

So far so good for me.  It's filling a gap for some stuff that Spotify doesn't have and allows me to upgrade some low bit-rate stuff I have.

[GimpKid]

I've used Match for a bit. Canceled my spotify cause I prefer the library set up of iTunes. Spotify kinda blows if you're gonna manage large selections IMO.

[nameness]

The thing I really like about Spotify is the social aspect and being able to hear stuff before I decide to buy it.  I don't listen to any of my iTunes stuff through it because yeah…  I have too much.  Once I hit the 25k limit on ITM we'll see what I do with Spotify...

[GimpKid]

Yeah, I'm kinda shy about what I listen to. Letting Spotify post what I'm listening to on Facebook, for example, would be like posting naked pictures of myself in rather compromising positions.

[nameness]

I hear you.  Have you had issues with the artwork loading on your phone via ITM?  I haven't really searched around yet and it's not a huge deal.  Just a little annoying.

[GimpKid]

I was mainly using it between 3 computers. I just looked on my phone and most artwork was there and if it wasn't, it fetch it. Maybe cus I'm on wifi? Don't know really.
