what do u think of todays events at the mac crew? i kno i like the new ipods and im intrigued by the music buying system....your thoughts?

If all you want to do is business type apps and surfing the web, along with video and pic editing, then the MAC is a strong choice. For other things like games and other stuff, no way.

im not talking bout the apps.....im talking bout their new business...... selling individual songs for $.99. its in itunes 4 rite now and should be out for pc before years end.

why when its free?

not exactly free....ur screwing the artist....but lets not get into the debate that the RIAA gets most of the money.

if the money went to the artist i would pay for it...BUT all the info points a RIAA get the LUMP sum of $$...screw them

I would rather spend $$ on a concert of my fav artist...

But its a good idea...but i dont think it will stick

The so called "Artist" and the recording industry has been sticking in the publics ass and breaking if off for years. Now I(joe public) am able to break it off in their ass for a change.....and it feels good.

Actually, it's the record company that's screwing the artist. That's why it's the record companies that formed the RIAA to sue everyone that even thinks about downloading a song.

I also heard that you could only use Apple's new music service from a Mac. That may or may not be true, but, since I won't be using Apple's service anyway, I don't care. If it is true, Apple will have a very tiny potential customer base, since I cannot envision hordes of people rushing to buy Macs so they can download songs for $.99 each.

Call me cheap, but even $.99 is to expensive for my liking... think about you, you want a cd that has 20-22 songs, well hello, you back to paying full price if not more for a CD... and thats .99 is in USD... so tack another 50-53% for exchange for here in Canada... and the artisits, record companies, RIAA and now Apple are screwing the public...

Can we say "bend over and like it"

Its a freakin' joke...

NO!!!!!

You can buy the ENTIRE album for 10 bucks!!!! DUDE!!! 10 bucks!! that is lots cheaper than online or in store sales.

and guess what? sometimes you only like one or two songs! so then get em for a few bucks and burn as many cd's as ya like.

10 bucks is very reasonable and you get your product NOW!!

Apple WILL support windows soon so fear not windows fan boys and girls

Still to much... $15 bucks canadian.... not worth it IMHO... but iam a cheap-o anyway...

i personally like the idea.... feel kinda guilty dling songs....10 bucks for a good album is a decent price. Not to mention that u can burn all u want. another thing its good for is getting previews of songs as they give u 30 sec preview of each song at 128Kb/s AAC.

i used to feel guilty... but then i just remember how much i can buy a cdr for. And then i compare it to how much i can buy 1 in HMV for. And then i remember how much the artist really gets paid.

S club 7 ( ) earned .5 million pounds- alot of money one might say. Their manager screwed them for 8 million pounds.

a VERY good example magoo, heard about that. that's the business in a nutshell. and about that service, unless the artists get at LEAST $.80 of that price, i'm not even gonna give it a thought. now i'm heading back for kazaa
