Using Up Song Credits on iTunes - Downloading Music is Good
Filed under: Apple, Internet — Malcolm Owen @ 11:13 am
So, thanks to that Coke/iTunes contest, winning an iPod and then going nuts helping other people get iPods too, I’ve managed to amass a large amount of free song credits. 273 to be exact.
Now, granted, I know very little about the modern music buying experience. I’m one of those people whom prefer podcasts and the radio. I’m not one to go to HMV to get the latest compilation or latest album, because I know that they’re expensive per good song I actually want to listen to. As in on an album of 10-15 songs, you might actually want to listen to 2 or 3, and since the rest is really just filler, it makes each of those good tracks expensive.
In comes iTunes. A music library that charges per track at a very reasonable price. You can pick and choose the tracks you want to buy from the albums (although you do save a tiny bit by getting said album) and ignore anything else that doesn’t tickle your fancy. This is a good thing, and makes music buying more attractive to me. As in potentially cheaper.
(Side Note: Apple makes it relatively simple to buy a song or album, in terms of the buying experience. Some online stores could learn from this…)
I now have 250 credits remaining. What was the first song I bought off iTunes?
Walkie Talkie Man by Steriogram. A Fantastic song.
