itunes music store launches at 79p per track

| | Comments (1) | TrackBacks (0)

So , 79p per track, that might encourage me to buy some music from Apple. However it is the ease of use more than anything else, as £7.99 per album is close to what a real CD costs from amazon or digital costs from bleep etc. I also have some concerns about longevity, I can still play back CDs from 20 years ago, just like I have slides which will last for decades. How well DRM based AAC file will fare is up for debate.
Further media coverage from BBC, Macworld and the furore over the indys not joining in, macworld and the guardian (registration required).

Pity the first track I downloaded was not as titled but something entirely different!
Gripe grouch
Apple are apparently 'looking into it'
