« The Entrepreneurial Recovery | Main | I Was Right - and Way Ahead of Big Media » February 11, 2004Great InventionsFire. The Wheel. And iTunes. I just logged on and used Apple's digital music store for the first time tonight. Amazing. This is the way music should be sold - a la carte. Blogging will be light until my credit cards are maxed... ;-) Posted in Miscellaneous

Have fun Bill. Personally, i'm waiting for the ability to buy lossless copies of music that aren't handicapped by various forms of Digital Rights Management. It's all fun and games until they change the DRM format and your music becomes obsolete (requiring you to purchase it all over again). Posted by: Jeremy at February 11, 2004 09:00 PMForget iTunes. Subscribe to RealRhasopdy. For ten dollars a month, you can endlessly stream WHOLE songs and WHOLE albums. The site design is great and offers one an excellent opportunity to explore unknown music. The custom radio station feature is outstanding. You still can buy the music ala carte at $.99 per track. But before buying, you can put together custom playlists and listen to them in their ENTIRETY before buying. One or two tracks don't work just right in the playlist? No problem, save the playliist and edit it at your leisure. The drawback is that tracks need to be burned directly to a CD as opposed to downloading it directly to your hard drive. I suggest that you immediately transfer these CDs to your hard drive after burning. Sorry, Apple. Thirty second musical clips just don't make it.

Posted by: Dave at February 12, 2004 12:49 PMWelcome to the world that us Apple users have been enjoying for months. I bought a song the first day the Itunes store was on line and I have since bought more music in the past six months than I have in the previous six years. If I can't get it online, I won't buy it.

It sounds best when iTunes is configured with the equalization off, and without any "sound enhancer" thingy. Still not perfect, tho. Other music is fine. Posted by: Jon H at February 12, 2004 09:20 PMBill: you gotta get an iPod and one of those little cables that let you connect the Pod to your stereo so you can have your own radio station, even in your car! Enjoy, dude. Posted by: Helen at February 15, 2004 10:00 PMPost a comment
