Just got iTunes 4 with the intergrated Music Store. Even though I can’t buy music yet as I’m in the U.K. this thing has totally blown me away! Browse the store right in iTunes, preview tracks and then select what tracks you want to buy at 99c each. This is a fundamental shift in the way we buy music. Buying individual tracks rather than a whole album. But hey Bren - I can download free tracks using my peer to peer app. Well, I don’t know about you but I like stuff to be easy and iTunes makes getting music easy - and it’s always good quality. This isn’t just the future of buying music online, but I think this is the future of the web in a lot of ways - occasionaly connected desktop applications that interact with databases etc, all made possible because of things like broadband and cool technologies like SOAP and XML. Now all I need is for the international store to open up (May 9th is the rumour)!
