iTunes Music Store Redux
30Apr2003 Filed under: meWell, it finally let me give it my paypal card instead of my BoA one. I purchased Television, Drug of the Nation, “Flood”, and “Don’t Crush that Dwarf, Hand me the Pliers”. Total price: $13 (Don’t Crush has but two tracks, so I bought them instead of the album). The album cover art shows up in the lower left hand corner.
The sound is really good - I asked an audiophile friend to listen on good headphones, and he said it was good too. The downloads were hella fast, at least here on my friend’s cable modem. good concurrency - my “purchase” was downloading and I was still able to preview other songs.
All in all, a very pleasant experience. I doubt others would have the patience I did in trying to get signed up, but if the available albums expands I can see myself getting the majority of my music this way.

I was able to get buying tracks fairly late tuesday night. It’s evil - and i’m glad that the bulk of what i’d want isn’t on there yet - i’ve already brought 3 albums (total price, ~$20). I love that i can buy just the good songs off of an album, or buy the whole album.
Some things that i want:
o When i give an aac track to someone else, when they try to play it, it comes up asking for my .mac account info for authorization - what i’d also like to see is a “buy me now” button. This could be great for DJ’s - put up a playlist of the songs they played in AAC format, people could have the option of buying the tracks they heard at the club the other night. This could seriously turn DJ play/airplay into a real, direct sales avenue for bands
o I’d like to be able to select an mp3 and click on a “find me more by this artist in the store” type of button - ditto for being able to do that from streams that identify individual songs
o More smaller labels :) (in time, i’m sure)
