Well fuck I was just thinking about actually purchasing an Amazon Music subscriptions for this purpose. I have a huge iTunes library or ripped CDs. As I grew up in the 80's 90's, that is how I acquired my media.
YOu can still use Google Music. You can store up to 50,000 songs. I have Amazon Prime so streaming won't stop.
https://play.google.com/store/music?hl=enI never want to use Google services like this again because they seem to just randomly cancel shit all the time.
That’s what has been in the back of my mind when they have removed Google Reader, Picasa, Chrome Apps and pther products. Good food for thought.
Also Google Voice is as good as dead because it was integrated into hangouts and then that was abandoned. Not canceled and still works, but not worth a shit.
That’s why I went with VOIP.ms as per our conversation yesterday.

@jaredbusch Prime does include ability to stream and rip all music you have bought on Amazon. And Prime(not unlimited) does include lots of good streaming options for stuff you havent bought.

I have never argued that the music available to me because of my Prime subscription is useless. In fact, I have stated many times that I generally use the Amazon Music app on my iPhone when I want to listen to U.S. Music.
You do not rip music you have purchased in Amazon. You simply download it.
I think you have a misunderstanding of the termrip. I have CDs. Lots of them, in a plastic bin that has not witnessed the light of day in years.Fully a quarter of this music is not on any U.S. streaming service.
I ripped this all of the music to
mp3format and dropped it into iTunes many years ago.This music cannot be streamed with a service unless you pay for their upload service.

Is streaming that big of deal for you? I assume you don't just want it on the music device you have?

It's not the callers fault someone died. It's the ill-trained police jumping in throwing bullets around.
Why didn't the police just shoot everyone and anyone around him and just say... "well that kid shouldn't have pranked us, it's his fault"... same thing.

Both were wrong, don't take it the wrong way.

And what if it wasn't a prank, but they just got the address wrong - even when these things are real they require way more verification than an anonymous phone tip. Or the shooter sent out a hostage instead of coming out himself? Bottom line, the cop murdered a completely innocent guy based on nothing. Imagine if any other job operated like that.

Sadly nothing will come of this. The officer will go on paid leave until the press dies down and the PR will be spun to place the blame on the caller and not the cop that pulled the trigger.

Yup, and the poor family will be left without justice.

The kid should be charged with whatever it would be for pranking the police. Not anything to do with murder or causing death. The police should be.

I am of the opinion that both should be. One should be up for second degree murder, and the other for as an accomplace or something. Even as a prank, trying to get a cop to kill someone or accusing someone of a false crime should carry a penalty at least equal to the crime being falsely claimed. The pranker claimed murder and hostage taking, he should be tried at that level as a minimum, IMHO.
