Web/Tech: October 2003 Archives
iTunes for Windows is ready for download! They've added some new features to the store as well. Celebrity playlists, gift certificates and an allowance account to allow parents to let their kids use iTunes without a credit card.
If you're stuck on Windows and have an iPod, you're already downloading it, but even if you don't have an iPod, but do have an mp3 collection you should check it out.
Welcome, Windows users, to the world's best digital music jukebox, with a great music store inside - and it keeps getting better. Welcome to a music store with hundreds of thousands of songs which you can conveniently browse and search, and an inviting way to preview, buy and download music online quickly and easily. And welcome to the best friend an iPod ever had: iTunes.
Incidentally, while browsing the iTunes web site, I noticed this little blurb.
Coming soon for more than 25 million U.S. members of America Online
Apple(R) and America Online, Inc., the world's leading interactive services company, today announced an alliance to provide instant, one-click registration to the iTunes(R) Music Store for AOL's more than 25 million U.S. members starting later this quarter. America Online will integrate links to iTunes artists, albums and songs throughout its leading music site, AOL Music, which will give members the option to link directly to the specific iTunes Music Store page to preview and buy music as they browse and read music news and reviews."Apple and AOL are making it easy for AOL's 25 million U.S. members to legally buy music online," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "With just one click, AOL members will be able to legally preview, purchase and download music from the iTunes Music Store's catalog of more than 400,000 songs."
"Apple's iTunes Music Store is a runaway hit," said Jonathan Miller, chairman and CEO of America Online. "Today, Apple and AOL are uniting the number one music destination site, AOL Music, with the number one music download site, Apple's iTunes Music Store, to bring customers the most complete online digital music experience."
This could be the nail in the coffin for eMusic, Napster MkII, etc.
