Why? is it feelings of inadequacy? Seriously though, I didn't know you could download ipod music in NZ yet. Must have been a fairly recent thing. Ken ;) |

He was pointing out and rightly so that an album does not cost $37 to download . Many are about $17 or less . |

Grammatically speaking you were correct in calling it an Ipod, however, if you took a closer look at the back of the device you would see it is written as "iPod" which is actually a copyrighted name owned by Apple Inc as are iMac, iLife, iTunes etc. I have an old 3rd Gen iPod and a newer 5th Gen video capable iPod sitting next to my iMac which has taken over from my old Windows machine. The NZ iTunes music store was opened back in about December last year by Eddy Cue for both PC and Mac so yes, that would make it a rather recent thing.:p |

On the contrary, it is actually CD sales that continue to struggle in the face of increasing competition from individual legal digital downloads. Warner Music recently called it quits as their sales were hitting rock bottom. |

| 550484 | 2007-05-17 05:55:00 | If I was buying an album I would still get the physical CD. However, for albums where there are only a few songs I like, it is cheaper and much more convenient to buy them online. | maccrazy (6741) | ||
