Did it really remember all your choices or did your choices just match with the default settings (strictly necessary = on, everything else = off)? In either case, it's still a problem. It's my impression that if you make the effor

That's not true. You can't buy lossless ALAC files from Apple.

Have your tried Bandcamp, Qobuz, Boomkat, Bleep and others? Personally I buy and find all my music in lossless digital formats. Any release I want to have. Interestingly you may have a harder time finding very popular mainstream music in a

I wonder why you wouldn't just use ALAC full time? As mentioned in my other comment any decent piece of software or hardware supports ALAC these days. Sure, if you don't have any use for iTunes or iOS FLAC is the obvious choice, b

My whole collection is stored in ALAC. Any half decent software or hardware player will support ALAC these days.

A critical factor in this experience was the actual room. Anyone dealing with audio and hifi will confirm how much great acoustics depend on a well treated room. While most of us can't live in such a purpose-optimized room I think OP&#

Adding to the Spike Jonze likeness, am I the only one who thinks that the new iMacs might as well be taken straight from the devices found in "Her"?

Indeed. Plus, I'd like to use an iMac in a dual display setup without one display looking out of place. And needless to say I have neither the budget nor the need for the Pro XDR display.

In the context of discussing the port selection of an iMac let's not forget that the device already comes with wireless keyboard and mouse/trackpad. While using your own input devices is an option very few customers will want to m

I think it's reasonable to assume to a user is able to multiply a monthly fee by the number of months in a year.

When I read "Annual plan, paid monthly" I expect to be on the hook for the whole year. I wouldn't even assume that there is an option to cancel early. Apparently the early cancellation fee is 50% of your remaining subscriptio
