Eddie,
I think you're going a little overboard in your comments to Don.
Personally, I would never even consider putting "My Documents" in a free or paid online storage account. Does that make me paranoid? I don't think so. Just cautious.
Do I use online banking? Of course.
Insulting Don isn't a good way to make your point.

This includes songs purchased on iTunes as well as any other music files, which will be identified by Apple and made available without the need to upload the copy. Itunes Match has obtained the blessing of the major record labels, who will reportedly receive the lion’s share of the service’s $24.95 (U.S.) annual fee.
So Itunes goes through your stuff and decides if it's legal. Nice.
Well, I CAN see the logic in that. Imagine I downloaded a shipload (it is family-level here) of illegal (perhaps even crappy) mp3's and stored them on my harddrive. I could the cloud-service and suddenly OWN the high-quality files LEGAL. I should never have to buy an album again. Well, if it wasn't for that check that is.
You know what? Here in the Netherlands it is LEGAL to download music, even if the source is known to be illegal. The downloader is safe. The uploader however is punishable. But what are the chances they will grab you?
Just the fact that the government finds it OK to steal intellectual property just because "there is not a single CD, DVD or book missing from any store" makes me mad. I mean, there are one-celled organisms living in the sea that have more braincells than our politicians! But let's not even go there...

Oh we are having some fun, Bob. And I am looking for cookies!
The discussion was whether those sites are safe. They are. Are they infallible? They are not. However, the issues come when people set up passwords like "password". The point is that while my last will and testament is not out there, I use "cloud" storage for things I need to get at quickly, when the need arises. Lyrics are out there so if I get a thought or need to make a change I can do it from my iPhone whenever I like. If anybody wants my lyrics enough to sit for hours and hack my password, they can have them.
As I said in every post I made on the thread, wherever your comfort zone is, that's fine. Some people don't eat meat, right? Does that set the rules for everybody? Of course not.
Man, people are WAY too sensitive. Sense of humor is not allowed anymore?
I'm out. Be well all. I won't come back here again since I "offend"so many people.
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.

The idea that a computer company, even Mr. Job's deal, could go through my hard drive and search for songs that might not be mine...YIKES.
Even if my version of All of Me has no melody how will they know that? And it's a band in a box arrangement? No way.
My paranoia, and my lack of paranoia both have limits. Wait, am I paranoid enough?
But my understanding of Apple's cloud goes like this. You bought all your tunes from us. We are going to check you're hard drive and then let you use that song on your thing-ma-bob with an I attached to it. Iguessnot. Iamnotadumb.

I put my will on my documents folder. LOL.
I have to find my dentures if there are nuts.
I still want a J: drive in a cloud at someone else's expense. Or expanse.
And I think Band in a Box users should be very very cautious, even the Mac ones LOL, using the icloud. I think it's a dark one with lightning.

Eddie,
Talk about being "WAY too sensitive"! I just found your comments to Don to be a little condescending, especially for something as benign as whether or not to use an online storage account.
If that's enough to make you leave, it's a good thing you never participated in one of our contentious discussions.

Nobody offended here, Eddie. I understand your points and I believe I made mine.
Peace,

I'm with you 100%. If my hard drive is gonna be scanned, it's gonna be because I initiated it. Not Jobs or Gates or anyone else.

Now you're right on the money! YOUR data is gonna be scanned when YOU decide it and WHO is able to scan it.
If you want to use the service provided (be it for free or not) you MUST read the small print in the EULA. If YOU are ok with those, then go ahead and use the service. You can be reasonably sure it is safe to use, so that's not an issue. The EULA is.

Mike ever since I'm back from Europe I feel the need to send our head of provincial politics over there to put you guys in a safer boat.
I loved Amsterdam, but man, tall blondes on big bikes texting and driving without helmets, wow, can't happen here. That's about 200 for the lack of helmet, and 300 for texting and driving. Not to mention the maryjane shops and some chick at 3 in the afternoon in garters and a push up bra trying to get the wife to bring me in. LOL.
We are kicking this guy out, but you guys with the unrefrigerated eggs and undercooked meat need him LOL.
I almost got run over by bicycles at rush hour at the sheer shock of so many people driving no hands and talking on the phone, texting, downloading music etc. Shocking but true. I'm trying to convince the wife to move.

Bob,
Me thinks what he meant by "You put nuts in yours?" was in referral to Don's statement about sending "cookies", i.e. cookies with or without nuts.
Later,

Danny, It was actually 3 comments that caused me to say something. Quote:
Nobody wants your cookie recipe.
Quote:
How old are you, and how long have you been involved with computers and networking?
Quote:
You put nuts in yours?
These just struck me as condescending to Don when taken in context of the posts. If I read it wrong, my apologies to Eddie.

On this forum, though, it's de rigeur to let your posters off the leash.
I loved Coltrane in that British show, "Crackers".

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
