I downloaded Simplify Media (discussed down-blog) on my work machine, and wow! Cool! I spent an afternoon listening to Jim’s iTunes library, feeling like a total moocher, because all I’ve got to offer in return so far are the Battlestar Galactica soundtracks and a few random podcast episodes.
It also felt like doing something the RIAA et al. would sternly disapprove of, but I’ve noticed that it doesn’t work if the other person’s machine is off.
In short: very cool tool. If anyone else joins it, you can find me under mak506.
