iTunes Store

Okay, I have both a PC and a Mac, and I use both a lot, however for very different work. Generally, I use the PC for writing, bloggin' and technical work, and I use the Mac for video editing...

Well, today I had a client in who was trying to tell me about a song... they said "1000 Miles" by "Melissa Carlton". On a lark, I said, I wonder what's on the iTunes store? So I downloaded iTunes (never installed before) and in less than five minutes I was previewing "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton. Wow. It was quick and simple, and the preview allowed the client to let me hear the song without having to buy it. Then we moved on in the edit... but later, I came back, and I ended up buying a bunch of singles... it was super easy, and then I burned them to a CD, no sweat.

Amazing, Apple gets it. The RIAA doesn't.
