The buzz last week surrounding Apple's new music service is still turning some heads. In one week alone Apple sold over 1,000,000 songs at $.99 a piece, they've definitely shown that some individuals are willing to pay for what could otherwise be obtained freely. In addition to having access to a library of over 200,000 titles you can also listen to the first 30 seconds of a song, to try before you buy. The software Apple created for this online music-store service is called iTunes, and it currently only interfaces with Mac OS X and will only work if you're in los Estados de Unidos (no, not Canada America or Mexico America but America America). Steve Jobs did say however that they plan on porting it to the Windows environment by the end of the year (they even put a job application on Monster.com).
Anyways, I found this comical review of iTunes that even non-geeks could appreciate. Enjoy.
