t e c h n o c u l t u r e writes: "In the interests of the readers of this blog, I have sacrificed my credit card upon the altar of the new Apple Music Store, and can report that 1) it is rather cool; 2) it can be a bit hard to find what you want, or even to find what all is there. [...] The music store [...] is only available to people with a US billing address on their credit card [...] My guess? This is going to be a winner; prices will gradually come down somewhat; a real attraction will be the availability of exclusives, like the U2 single; the other music vendors will HAVE to match this; Apple has a new revenue stream. It just makes buying music so easy. And you know you'll get the full song, in excellent quality, something you never can guarantee with file swapping."

Apple, Analysts On The New Music Service: "How was Apple able to get support from the record companies, the RIAA and, judging from the reaction of many users to the announcement today, the buying public? IDC analyst Roger Kay summed it up in two words: Steve Jobs." (MacCentral via MyAppleMenu) [MyAppleMenu]

What Apple Finally Delivered: "The announcement today of the iTunes Music Store is pure Jobs. It's proprietary, it's overpriced and everyone is going gaga for it." (Moore's Lore via MyAppleMenu) [MyAppleMenu]
