Default Re: OT: So, what do you think about the iTunes Music Store?

Watch the nic video on the apple site, it's the funniest thing to come from apple since the ellen feiss switch ad [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

People might have one or 2 things to say about how wide the reality distortion field can go if you read the quote from video stream (which I couldn't connect to and had to read about on a site)

Apple's songs are encoded at 128Kbps, which Jobs claimed "rivals CD quality". In fact, he said, it's better than CD quality, since Apple has in many cases used original masters to create is song library, rather than ripping a stack of CDs.

Yeah right!!

I hope they make the service international before they add windows support, it bugs me enough that apple live in their own deluded little world as far as exchange rates and pricing are concerned, leaving europe and everyone else out of even more of their typically USA-centric stuff is just a little bit annoying IMHO.

At least they clearly don't have an ongoing policy geared towards total global dominance like microsoft/DR Evil. [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]
