so by now, most of you in the know have heard the news.
yup, as expected, Apple has a new music service. It is, as advertised, “Downloads Done Right”. I am all for it, since I am mostly against music pirates. Don’t get me wrong, I love mix CD’s and finding new music like everyone else, but I ain’t for stealing music. I am glad that there is a service where we can selectively choose our songs individually and not have to shell out the price of a new CD. I dig that. Kinda like I dig eMusic, which I’ve been a subscriber of for about 4 years now.
I’m a bit curious about the new AAC format, which is the format that the music files will be provided in. It is supposedly “virtually indistinguishable from the original uncompressed audio source”.
And damn them for coming out with the cool new iPod a mere few months after I got mine. Rrrg.
I’m uber-pissed that the new iPod just came out. Being that the 10Gig is now the price of the old 5Gig and they have a groovy new design.
Once I buy a product either they upgrade it, drop the price, discountine it, release something new, modify it. It happened with my iBook (upgraded & price drop), happened with my iPod, and almost everything else I bought in the past year.
