About this siteFor six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul Tuesday, April 29, 2003Apple launches new music serviceApple's new music service is excellent, as is iTunes 4.0 and, presumably, the new iPods, though I've not seen one up close yet. The music service--creatively dubbed iTunes Music Service--lets you browse through a suprisingly small list of 200,000 songs from a variety of artists on all of the five major record labels, buy songs for 99 cents each, and buy albums for $10 or so (some are a few bucks more). The songs--encoded in protected AAC format at 128 Kbps--sound great and I was able to transfer them between two Macs and an iPod; tomorrow, I'll test CD burning and how well that sounds. But I hope this service takes off: Apple got it right this time. Apple iTunes 4 looks nice, offering features like album art and song combining, but only on new rips: If you already have a library of music, as I do, you can't combine songs at all or automatically grab album art. Still, it's a nice update. [ Posted at 1:08 AM | Permalink ]
