Buy.com Music Store (the mighty merging of 3 threads)

My email to buy.com support

Hi, why the HELL did you guys disable Safari/Mac for buymusic.com? You pretend like you NEED windows for the site, but if you press stop after loading the page itself, it just works. Why don't you want Mac customers, what has Apple done to you? Also, I'd really like a serious reply to this. You know, I'll get it in less than 12 hours, otherwise you're just lying on this page.

Hugs and love,

Robert

apple is going to respond with a windows version of iTunes.... that should kill buymusic.com

i'm surprised buy.com hasn't broken any apple patents or copyrights.... or maybe they have?
 
Erhm... This discussion is way out of proportion. Everybody knew competition would arise. Even Steve knew it, although he didn't think much of it when he presented iTMS. We also have seen services _not_ available for Macs for years. Nothing new here, too. It's a service. It has pros and cons. If you don't like it, don't use it. Why so agitated? Buy more music from the iTMS, if you want to support it.
 
Well i'd rather have a 99 cent great sounding 128k AAC file from the music store rather then a 128 Windows Media file that is most often worse quality then what is floating on gnutella networks.

I just love the iPod and music store. The synchronization is so awesome. For example I wanted a new album. Instead of driving all the way out to the mall which is 30 miles away and an hour or so with traffic, i walked to my computer, downloaded an album, plug in iPod, and away to the gym.

No service has yet been able to match it and it will be a long long time before there will be.
 
I can't wait till the next steve jobs keynote where he plays the ads and then hears a round of boos. Then he announces iTMS for windows, annoucnes it available internationally, boasts that all record labels are now on board, boasts the simplicity and ease of use, then shows ads showing buymusic.com execs peeing their pants! :)
 
I agree. We all love the iTMS so we should continually support it with new music ideas and actually purchasing them when Apple adds them! :)

BTW: The biggest news of all is.....

My Final Project was graded and I officially have graduated college! What a day! :)
 
congrats, I will be officially done in 2 weeks, finishing my last 2 liberal arts requirements and it's official and FINALLY OVER! :)
 
Mazel tov, Ive, what's the next stop on the freeway that is your life?

As for BMDC (BuyMusic-dot-com), it's a Windows-influenced service. Of course it sucks. They don't know how to get it right, even with a model like Apple.

Ignore them.
 
Most people seem to be so US-centric. I understand that Apple's revenues from outside the US are only 39% of the total, but that is still quite a bit.

When/if Apple can get international users to use a music buying service first, they are not playing catch-up. Let's see how that buymusic.com thing is working out before jumping to any conclusions.
 
Thank you for the hearty Mazel Tov and the congrats...very much appreciated! :)

I'm actually already working! I was a lucky one and got job offers while I was still in school, no thanks to the career center, which 'forgot' my resume.

I'm working as a Macintosh Administrator/Desktop Specialist at a publishing company now. :)
 
Okay... We'll have to either keep this discussion on the topic of iTMS vs. BuyMusic's store on a technical/commercial level, move it to Opinions or close it, which I don't want, as I think those things should be discussed... But please don't use the Apple News & Rumors forum for flaming BuyMusic/Windows/Internet Explorer or whatever... The link's funny, though. ;-) ...
 
Yeah, this belongs in either Opinions or the Café. Any way you look at it, it's not Apple news or rumors, so it's already misfiled.
 
These lil mofos at buymusic.com just posted commercials on their website. They are bashing macs and the itunes music store. In on of their commercials they have the same guitar that they do on applemusic.com and they start bashing and say 79 cents per song (music for the rest of us) or sumthing like that. I saw it on TV as well, and their other commercials are spin-offs of the apple itunes music store singing commercials. I hate this website and they should die. Also they claim 79 cents per song, for some. But for a lot of songs u are paying 99 cents not 79. The only 79 cent songs are either crap or just not popular. SO, they advertise for things that are tru, but misleading. And they are bashing macs and apple, which is a VERY VERY *** thing to do. Friggin **********!!!
