Re: iTunes 4 and music store

Well, I downloaded 18 songs and made me a classics R&B/soul?ballad/pop type compilation. Barry White, Al Green, Sly and family stone, michael jackson, hall and oates, smokey robinson, linda ronstadt, commodores, Al Jaraue, Stevie Wonder, Babyface, Chicago, Sade, and so on were among the artists.

Kind of an easy listening sing a long compilation thing going on there.

While it wouldn't play in my DVD/DVD-A/CD deck it did work fine in the Car stereo (which is what it's for anyways), and the quality was surprisingly good.

I couldn't find all of the music I looked for (No tommy james and the shondells, and not much in the way of contemporary christian stuff), but I'm sure all that will change very soon.

I'm very happy with it....

Kudos apple, this will change the way the consumer buys music. And as I understand it the artist gets a bigger cut (per song) than he does through conventional means.

Those of you who invest in the market, it might be a great time to buy apple. I understand their stock has already gone up 11 percent this week over this new technology.
