[N8 v2.0]

$0.99 per song, playlists, yadda-yadda-yadda...

Is it worth the time and money?

I am looking to listen to tunes from a couple of bands, The Killers and Interpol.

i have grown to like it from an organizational perspective (does what audiogen purported to do, but a lot better). haven't actually downloaded anything though. i'd go w/ Interpol, not so hot on the Killers. what songs are you looking for? if you want the whole record, it's cheaper to actually buy it. the interpol cds are worth it.

you mean "is the iTunes music store worth it?" iTunes itself is free, doesn't cost you anything to rip your own cds or, ahem, download mp3s from other sources. anyway i have only bought a few tracks off of iTMS but it worked fine. basically it's simply whether you want the music or not, and whether you can get it for cheaper yet in a format that will play on your portable-music-device-of-choice and can burn onto cds for car use, etc.

I am looking for some tunes off of Antics. They were recommended by a friend of mine who said they reminded him a of Joy Division.

iTunes itself is nice, I like listening to the bazillion internet radio stations. And it is a decent media player/library as well.

Well... I decided to give kazza a rest for a while...

iTunes is a great library. The only reason I use it is because I have an iPod. But i'm not paying $.99 a song, I will use "other" sources for that matter or just burn peoples CD's.

n8, if you've got comcast on demand, you can see the fairly bizarre vid of "evil" from interpol.

iTunes is great as a player, organizer, and everything else. I love the store personally. I've bought a few cds off it and find it fast, inexpensive, and since all i listen to are MP3s on my computer and my ipod i find it perfect.

yep, looks like they are hosting it on their site. "PDA" and "Obstacle 1" are great songs too.

iTunes is by far the best free music organizer/jukebox out there. The store is ok, but I like Real's better as far as extra content like music videos, but I wouldn't use it to buy music just cause the songs won't play on iTunes and there's not as many, and the interface isn't as user friendly either. I would go with iTunes.

I used to listen to them before the RIAA screwed with them. Glad to see they are back online.
