iTunes

ITunes is great - a truly easy-to-use program, the excellent result. Their iTunes store, as well, is a revolution, with an unprecedented amount of musical material available for download at a relatively low price. But it is only that: a relatively low price. A dollar may seem like a small sum to pay, but it adds up quickly. I am in the UK, and we are torn out, we pay the equivalent of 1.60 dollars for each song.


A new workaround that Apple are pondering, as more and more revenue is lost in the abyss of programs like LimeWire, BearShare and Kazaa, is free to have music. Free music, in other words, for a price. Apple Under the proposed system would consumers pay more - perhaps one hundred dollars or so - to the point of buying the iPod, and then never have to pay a penny more for downloading songs. This money would be split evenly with the record companies and music producers, the Apple to download their songs from the iTunes store. With many people the music collections of thousands of songs, under this system, it will not be long before many people exceed the $ 100 and you get a good deal. Let us hope that this will only go ahead!
