iTunes for the rest of us!
I just finished installing iTunes on my Windows 2000 PC because Apple Computer today made good on their promise and released iTunes for the rest of us!! I immediately went to the store and was able to see firsthand what Apple users have been enjoying for several months now. The interface is slick and I absolutely love being able to hear hi-fi samples of the tracks before purchasing.
I sincerely hope that Apple makes a huge splash with this Windows version and that the iTunes software is just the beginning of much more Windows software to come from Apple. It feels so good to use their software again, it's like putting on a nice old broken-in shoe. And I imagine there are lots of other PC users out there that secretly have an affinity towards Apple products.
iTunes! Woohoo!!! Download it here.


Congrats, PC user. iTunes indeed rules. :-)
So, are you finding the music that you're looking for?
While iTunes may not have everything available at this point in time, the music industry really needs a successful and viable service such as this before availability will increase. Just look at what iTunes has already accomplished by witnessing all the "me-too" online music services introduced since iTunes launch six months ago.
I have been a club DJ for many years and many of the songs I look for probably won't be found on iTunes, or any other commercial online music service, for a good while. But I am hopeful that a credible name like Apple paired with the ease of use their software tends to exhibit will draw people to iTunes to buy those artist's songs which can be found there. And as the money rolls in, we should see more and more artists and labels making their songs available through these online services as a result.
