When Steve Jobs releases his essay “Thoughts on Music” lots of critics responded with “put up or shut up, Steve”. Well, today Steve Jobs and EMI officially “put up”. There have been two complaints from customers about digital downloads from the iTunes Music store…. 1) Audio Quality. The 128 kbps AAC encodings bothered audiophiles who…
What’s the big rumor today? Well the headline pretty much says it all, but let’s go to Bloomberg for the big report. Apple Inc. is in advanced talks with News Corp. to let iTunes users rent TV shows for 99 cents and is in discussions with other media companies about similar deals, said three people familiar…
Well, you may not have heard, but iTunes just hit 10 billion songs downloaded. Actually, you probably did hear, because I mentioned it last week. You also know then that Apple is giving away a $10,000 iTunes gift card to anyone who’s bought a song from the service in the past few days. Of course…
Have you ever wondered what the most downloaded song in iTunes history is? Yeah, I hadn’t either, but the team at Editable Apple have, and they have the answer. It turns out that the most downloaded track isn’t a number one hit…in fact, it’s never been a number one hit in its history. The song…
“The Dark Knight” is available for purchase on iTunes. It’s $14.99 on iTunes, and $14.95 (this week only) at Wal-Mart. I thought about buying it today when I was walking through the store, but I decided against it. Then I thought about buying it again when I got home, and decided against it again. I’m…
The Apple Blog reports that Circuit City is selling a line of “Collector’s Edition” iTunes Cards. The cards are valued at $25, and as a bonus, include some interesting Bonus Features from the shows listed on the cards. The shows include: 24, Prison Break, CSI, CSI: Miami and CSI: New York. Depending on which show…
It seems odd that Apple would release iTunes 8, and add HD TV Shows into the mix without updating the AppleTV to be able to get in on the action. That’s the case, though – at least for right now. If you own an AppleTV and you’ve tried to purchase one of your favorite television…
iTunes 7.4.2 is out. It sucks. Why? It kills the Ringtone work around, and even goes so far as to delete the Ringtones that you’ve made. Apple is getting an increasing amount of bad press for locking down iTunes, and the new iPods, and I have to say, I’m getting pretty sick of it. It’s…
The subject of what Apple should and should not allow in the App Store has become a very “hot button” topic. The closest thing I can compare it to are politics. Politics is one of the areas where very smart people often have very dumb arguments. What I mean by that is that many of…
Is your iTunes library getting a little too big for your internal hard drive? Do you wish you had those gigs of space back without deleting that music library you’ve curated over the years? Well, it’s actually fairly easy to get your entire iTunes library off of your Mac and onto an external drive or…
Back in December John Hodgeman’s “Areas of My Expertise” was available for free to US iTunes users. Now that promotion has been made available to our brothers and sisters to the north…so if you live in Canada (and you can stop enjoying your national health care and first run Doctor Who episodes for a second)…
Last night Apple released iTunes 7.7 which features updates to make the iTunes App Store available. After updating you can access the iTunes App Store by searching for applications.
