I was working at their interactive ad agency. I was less than enthusiastic about their product’s chances and they asked me to be frank. I told them, “the player is fine, but your software experience sucks ass.” They were using MusicMatch and it took me almost three hours to install, buy an album and get it onto the DJ. I suggested they take a crack at developing their own software to go against iTunes (remember, this is just when iTunes was being launched for Windows). They said it wasn’t worth their time.

It’s not easy being right all the time, is it?
