I suddenly have an urge to listen to the Harry Potter audio books. How do I do that? Here’s how it’s supposed to work:
1: Go to www.google.com.
2: Type in “harry potter”.
3: Click on “I’m feeling lucky”.
4: Click on “buy the audiobook on mp3”.
5: Put it my credit card shit.
6: Download.
How does it really work?
1: Try steps above; can’t find mp3s or even link to where i can buy mp3s.
2: Try itunes: 33 dollars for just the first book and I can only play it on certain computers using Apple’s crummy client and only when they give me permission? Suck my balls.
3: Get the feeling this is going to take a while; find about 10 different torrent in 10 seconds on google; start downloading in case nothing else works.
4: Googling….
5: Find Random House audio book site; they appear to be selling the books on CD for… $49.95. For 1 fucking book. Suck my balls.
6: Fuck this, I’m ranting to LJ and listening to a free NPR podcast or something while the torrent downloads. I’ve just lost 20 minutes of my life, which is already worth more than the cost of the book even at itune’s preposterous prices.
Look, people who set this up: I am willing to pay for you simply for the convenience of not having to deal with this bullshit. Sell me your warez properly or I will download them for free.
