I need to comment on this, even though it’s past my bed-time. Apple’s music store thing is quite cool. A lot of people have bitched about how it costs too much for a song and that the quality isn’t worth it. I think the cost is quite reasonable. It’s cheaper to buy the just the songs you want from an album … plus you get to preview them, than to buy the whole album… and you come away with a clean conscience (which apparently some people don’t have … clean or dirty). It’s also pretty darn convenient … hear a song on the radio … do a search … click a button to buy it … listen to it on your computer 1 minute later. Tonight I started searching for songs that I want to get and buying them. Some of them I’d have to really dig for in a brick-n-mortar store, and I certainly wouldn’t be able to get just the ones I want … good luck finding Cher, Duran Duran, Eric Carmen, Debbie Gibson, Judas Priest and Limahl on one CD (13 tracks). It also provides a quick and easy way to find other music I might like …other songs by the same artist … similar artists … etc. For instance, who knew there is a Club Mix version of “Neverending Story” (with cool stereo effects)? I realize most people reading this probably don’t have the software necessary to see this service, but I have to argue that it’s pretty cool.
It’s nice to be back in my house again. I’ve been gone a few days providing tech support for the NCATE team that was reviewing the College of Educ. at UW-RF (necessary to maintain accreditation). The U put me up at the Country Inn in RF … nice place. Nice hot tub. The beds sucked tho. I’m very much looking forward to re-acquainting myself with mine shortly.
P.S. Liz & Liz … yes … I know how late it is.
