hello, my name is [schming] and i have an addiction...
2004-09-24, 12:27 PM #1
I'm addicted to the iTunes music store. In the past 2 weeks I've purchased 18 songs. At $.99 per song, plus tax that's around $20 or so that I never intended to be used according to the way I budget my money... haha, ya right, like I have a budget. But still. It's annoying that I'm a compulsive music buyer. The good news is all the songs I've purchased are amazing, except for the crappy remixes and live versions that I didnt know were remixes or live versions when I bought them.... ARGH. I've wasted $3 so far on songs I wanted, but not that version of them.

Example:
REM - The One I Love (live), wanted studio version
They Might Be Giants - Instanbul (Not Constantinople)[jazz funk version], wanted original studio version
Coldplay - One I Love (live), wanted studio version as I already have the live version from the DVD purchase.

I guess I should've previewed the tracks first but since I thought they'd explicitly tell me if it wasnt the original track I feel ripped off, used, and dirty.

That's the thing about online stores - you don't see the money fly away!

I can buy stuff at 100$ and over online without problem, but when I buy a drink at 1.15$ I feel bad, because I actually get to see the money. It's all psychological. :p
The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

Doesn't iTunes cost like 10$ a month + the cost of albums/individual songs? Seems like a waste to me.
2004-09-24, 1:27 PM #8
Nope, you only pay for what you download.

But it's still dangerous!!

I'm addicted to addictions... :(

"I've tried to kick the habit,
I've tried many times before.
Yes I've tried to kick the habit
I've tried a hundred times or more.

Now I"m worried if I try..
another habit's sure to click!
So I'll make a habit of kicking the habit,
and that's a habit I'll have to kick!"

I just downloaded it... can someone tell me if they let you choose your own bitrates? I prefer 192kbps, and I won't settle for 128kbps. Do they let you specify a bitrate?
2004-09-24, 2:04 PM #14
Edit => options, there's something in there I think

Downloading music will never replace buying the CD itself, for me at least.

I'm addicted to bold and italics.

Hey, bugger off. It wasn't my choice. :(

I was going to post one, but realized that it could quite possibly lead this thread to a downward spiral of flaming.

Damn iTunes. I wish I would have done my research and found out the music comes in some bogus DMR Mac format that can't be converted, and can only be played in iTunes. :(

Oh well... only bought one album so I learned my lesson.

You pay 1 cent per 1 MB. Most albums are roughly 50-60 cents. :)

I'm 15 and I have never bought a single piese of music. (Or pirated for that matter) Is that wierd? I don't mind listening to music when my mom puts it on, but other wise I guess I'm just not inot music. Am I a total freak or is there any one else like me?
2004-09-25, 12:18 PM #37
Does AllOfMp3 have a monthly fee or do you just pay per song?

People have varying priorities in their life. Or you may just have not yet heard music that really clicked with you.
