Rant - Christian music downloads for everyone - NOT!
Published November 19, 2003
And here's the real kicker:
LifeWay also announced it would have a number of national promotions with Chordant Distribution Group, including a giveaway of one song each day for 30 days to everyone who visits the lifewaystores.com website. The promotion, called "30 for 30," begins Nov. 18. In addition, LifeWay will have several special promotions with Provident Music Distribution.
This would be known as a lie. It's not available to everyone who visits the lifewaystores.com Web site, because I just went there and got this message:
Only Windows 2000/XP/ME/98/98se users can download Windows Media content. Windows 95 and Windows NT are not supported. Only the Windows operating system is supported. See below for information specific to your operating system. Macintosh systems and any UNIX flavors are not supported at this time.
In other words, THE DOWNLOADS ARE NOT FOR EVERYONE!!!!
And I also like that part about not being supported "at this time." You mean, like the non-support DirecTV gives for its satellite Internet hook-up, the support that's been promised for FIVE YEARS!? Are you going to give us that kind of support?
When Apple introduced iTunes, they promised a Windows version by the end of the year. They delivered ahead of time, and by most accounts, it's been a smashing success (except among the "everything should be free" set). Even though I'd really like to believe the folks at LifeWay, I have a feeling they'll not have the same due diligence with bringing the service to the Mac.

Yo diggity,
You may recommend all you like, if I may be allowed to pray for your wicked, immoral soul.
Here be but a few samples of definitely not crappy Christian music:
Nodes of Ranvier
Living Sacrifice
Zao
Norma Jean
Prayer for Cleansing
Sinai Beach
Extol
Training for Utopia
Yo, these bands will rock your socks off. And that's the God's honest truth.
Do they mention Jesus in their songs? Because I hate Jesus.
You're going to pray for me? Great. I'm Wiccan. I'll put a spell on you, ok?

Fortunately, there's more to choose from these days :) CCMdownloads.com features thousands of (legal) christian music downloads from all major artists. On PC *and* iMac.
I am glad the winds of change have blown through here. There was a time you could not talk about religion without the conversation degenerating into silliness. Uhm... yeah. Things have changed. Clearly.
