America Online, Inc. and Apple announced on Thursday that AOL members who visit AOL Music can now click an iTunes button next to featured songs and launch the iTunes Music Store, where they can preview, purchase and download the tracks to listen to on their computer or iPod. AOL members can also use their AOL Wallet or card-on-file to pay for their music.

Xeni Jardin: BB reader Alfie says "Jon Johansen has re-opened the Itunes hole recently blocked by apple, making 3rd party accessible again."

The blog entry appropriately titled "So Sue Me" reads:

The iTunes Music Store recently stopped supporting iTunes versions below 4.7 in an attempt to shut out 3rd party clients. I have reverse engineered the iTMS 4.7 crypto which will once again enable 3rd party clients to communicate with the iTMS.

iTunes Music Store users got 500K free
songs last week 05/05/2004 12:29 PM
Apple said Wednesday that its iTunes Music Store set a new download record of 3.3 million songs in the week since the third-generation store was introduced. 500,000 of those downloads came in the form of free songs from popular commercial artists made available as part of a "Free Song of the Day" promotion to celebrate the store's one-year anniversary. Last week Apple said the iTunes Music Store currently sells 2.7 million songs per week. Subtracting the free songs, this suggests that the store's weekly business may have been slightly more brisk than usual.

One Out of Ten Cellphone Users Want
Music 07/30/2004 07:07 AM

I can't decide how to interpret these numbers: 11.4% of cellphone users surveyed are interested in buying music and other audio services (endlessly looping, ear-tearing sine waves, strangely enough) for use on their mobile handset. The question is, did the other 89% of people not really think it was practical yet, but will come around, or were they vehemently opposed to trying to converge yet another function into already-expensive handsets. Sure, you and I don't mind listening to music on our phones, because we're big nerds. And in the future, I don't expect the resistance to convergence will do anything but decrease (people are just going to accept that phones are turning into computers, minus the occasional Luddite anachronisms).

But whatever, I guess it's a good sign, in general. I'm sure if you polled another thousand cellphone users right now far less than half of them would say they are interested in PDA-like functions on their phone, despite the fact that that's clearly where the market is trying to go.

Considering Microsoft's iTunes Store

Considering Microsoft's iTunes Store 09/15/2004 09:47 PM
The MSN Music store does, however, have or plan a few cool features that Apple ought to consider. By David Pogue, New York Times (via MyAppleMenu)

I really don't understand how the iTunes
store... 12/02/2003 01:06 AM

I really don't understand how the iTunes store has sold so much music. Every single time I've tried to use it in the past few weeks, I've gotten this. (I wondered if this was just happening via Windows, but I just tried it on my Mac and got the same thing.)

iTunes Music Store

iTunes Music Store 07/05/2004 02:15 PM

I used the iTunes Music Store for the first time today. I actually didn't want to install it, but Apple is bundling it with QuickTime these days, so you have to get one to get the other. Then my wife, Annie, heard about it, and she wanted to try it.

It was a great experience. It's pretty much a matter of creating an account, finding a song, then clicking "Buy Song." You can even surpress the "Do you really want this song?" warning so you can just click with wild abandon, racking up $0.99 charges right and left.

The real test came when I taught Annie how to use it (because, you know, you can never have enough Celine Dion). She took to it right away. The search has a spellcheck feature, which is handy when trying to spell "Alanis Morrissette," and the idea of double-clicking a song to hear a clip is very intutive. Annie doesn't know the names of any of the songs she likes, but she knows what they sound like, so she just kept double-clicking until she heard what she wanted, then she hit "Buy Song."

The only glitch we ran into was that we first fired it up under my Windows account, logging into iTunes as Annie. Now, when we open iTunes under Annie's Windows account, again logging in to iTunes under her account, none of the "Purchased Music" we bought under my Windows account is there. For some reason, the purchased music is tied to a specific Windows account, not an iTunes account. I'm not quite sure what to do about this — if you know, drop me a line.

Some music isn't available as single tracks, for some reason. For instance, Annie wanted a song off the De-lovely soundtrack, but it was marked "Album Only." Depressing, but I'm sure there's some high-powered business reason for it.

We haven't tryed burning anything to a CD yet, but when I do, I'll let you all know how it goes. Hats off to Apple — iTunes is a great piece of work.
