Qtra…Q…Qtra…Just Kidding …wait now… Qtra…kidding

As reported by This guy and confirmed by the only PC-toting Neanderthal that I allow to associate with me, this new QTrax launch looked like the following messages.

We are in process of updating Qtrax with a new version and will be back by 2.00 PM EST. You can browse the site during this time but will not be able to login or register. Thank you for your patience.

Assuming they’re not in Indiana, and that they actually mean EDT (it’s Daylight Time right now), so after 200PM EDT it read:

We are in process of updating Qtrax with a new version and will be back by 4.00 PM EST. You can browse the site during this time but will not be able to login or register. Thank you for your patience.

If anyone with a PC who can read (I know that’s a tall order) wants to double-confirm that it would be awesome.

What would also be awesome is if someone told me whether or not QTrax was a delayed April Fool’s Joke.

    I have a PC. I have no idea what QTrax is, even though you’ve been whining about it for months. Music downloads? Wait…lemme live blog this.

    Ah, “free and legal P2P music download network.” Brilliant.

    What bit rate are they distributing their music in? It doesn’t say.

    Uh…I have to register and download a Qtrax player? Do Not Want.

    And waiting for them to “upload tracks from their record label partners” sounds like they’re not going to have what I’m looking for anyway.

    Ok, lemme check my favorite private-tracker bit torrent site. Oh yeah, all that stuff is here — in every format imaginable. FLAC through 192kbps. Wow, they even have Ratatat’s new album already. Does QTrax have that? Hey, two MGMT albums from when they were still in college and called “The Management! Vinyl-only rips from my favorite bands — and that’s all on the front page! Unbelievable!

    At this point if anyone wants me to switch from using bit torrent, legal or not, they’re going to have to come over my house and blow me while I download Depeche Mode’s discography…and finish me off during “Personal Jesus”.

    But what do I know? I wouldn’t be caught dead using iTunes either.
