believe it or not 033 there is a lot more out there than pop and dj music and electronic music ;)

Pros: No more guilt, great prices, good quality, I can sample a lot of different stuff without having to buy or deal with some pushy sales person at the music store, I will finally start buying music again after a 2 year hiatus. (I swore I wouldn't buy another CD until I could play it on my...

It seems that a lot of people are upset about iTunes content or lack there of. I've already sent in 4 requests via the request and feedback form to be found in the upper left hand corner. Just like the bug form in Safari, Apple wants to hear what we want. I'm sure that in a lot of cases the...

I would be careful about the above. Here is link to Apple's sales policy. U.S. SALES ONLY Purchases from the iTunes Music Store are available only in the United States and are not available in any other location. You agree not to use or attempt to use the service from outside of...

Advertising is a funny thing, remember when Infinity first started making cars and their ads were so oblique that nobody got them? They quickly switched to showing actual ads of the cars, not just wide open sky, etc. Anyway, Apple is known for taking chances and lets face it advertising is a...

How do the PeeCee music stores work? Can you download music from them anywhere in the world?

In the "advanced" pulldown. It becomes bold when you select a song to be converted. It took quite a while for me to convert an entire album, but the sound quality is excellent.

Well, the more I read it is not Apple that is the limiting factor here, rather the record companies themselves as well as the artists. Some artists contracts stipulate that their music is not to be released electronically. Also, the contracts are only with the 5 major record companies...

Here is an interesting article about the ongoing battle. I wonder how legal it is?

Yup, go after the labels, they are the ones that really control the whole thing right now. Also, they and the musicians are the reason that some music isn't available yet thru Apple. Some musicians and labels just see it as another venue to provide quicker illegal file sharing. Another...

I agree that it isn't revolutionary but it IS one step in the evolution of the music delivery business. The other music services have totally and utterly failed to capture any significant portion of the music buying market. Apple's method seems to combine all the best of what has come before...

Well, now that the Music Store is out (I wanted to abbreviate it to MS, but....) I think this is the future. Whether it succeeds or not is the question that remains. On another thread somewhere somebody stated that his little brother and friends have never bought a cd. I keep coming back to...

Everything under the sun is possible. The probability is what is more pertinent. Apple has launched what it hopes will be the standard bearer in the world of online music. I am a fanatic when it comes to privacy, I don't order anything from amazon for that reason. I've read and read and...

From what I have read, there is some kind of limitation in the software that limits the sound quality when you try to record from it. Sorry, I can't remember where I read that. IMO Apple and the record companies aren't trying to prevent piracy they are only trying to make it as difficult as...

Yup, they're pretty bad. Nothing worse than hearing someone singing in the shower, or while they have headphones on.

Here are a couple of articles that make for very interesting reading. The Slate article is amazingly quite upbeat, the Fortune article is indepth and good. http://slate.msn.com/id/2082157/ http://www.fortune.com/fortune/technology/articles/0,15114,447333,00.html I read about 20 different...

Just like Safari, this is an introduction, not an end product. Also, Robbie Williams, unfortunately, doesn't have the following in the US that he does in Yrup. Since the music service is only geared to the US for now, it makes sense that it targets the US market. I've also found or not...

When I was in Germany last year I bought about six CDs and failed to read the infitissimally fine print. "This CD cannot be played on a computer disk drive" Of course my computer froze and I had to reboot and eject the CD using a paperclip. I haven't bought any new CDs since then. I don't...

Just bought David Gray's "A New Day at Midnight" Excellent quality, about 5 min download for 12 songs, I was surfing here at the same time. Excellent deal, USD10 per album, way better than at the music store. Now I just have to get some decent speakers! For the first time in my life I read...

Go to the website, Software Update didn't show it available yet, maybe tonight? It downloaded just fine for me via the website. Same with iTunes.
