Talking About The Latest Digital Music
Store Messes
09/03/2004 03:05 AM

Over at IT Conversations, Ernest Miller has is running a new web-based radio show called "The Importance of... Law and IT." The latest show (the second one he's done) talks about Apple v. Real v. Microsoft in the digital music download store space... and I'm on the show as a last minute panelist. It was a fun conversation, and I'm probably removing myself from future shows by criticizing my own performance, but listening back over it there are two glaring problems with the show we did today. First, and most importantly, is the lack of someone from within the industry. This isn't Ernest's fault, as he tried very, very hard to get someone to appear, and I think my spot on the show was to fill in for the lack of anyone from within the industry being willing to come on the show. As it stands, while an interesting conversation on what's happening in the space, there's pretty much universal agreement among all the panelists. We might nitpick over definitions or where certain things are going, but on the whole, we all seem to believe that this whole Apple vs. Real vs. Microsoft battle is sort of a minor diversion in the overall effort to redefine the future of how people create, obtain, distribute and listen to music. Which leads into my second critique: this really is a minor skirmish in the larger scale of things, and we should have made more of an effort to frame this particular debate in a much larger debate about the overall industry. The show still is worth listening to, but I wish I had thought more to frame the overall debate better. Still, considering it's only the second show, and knowing the quality of Ernest's regular blog, it's clear this show has plenty of potential in the future.

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.
