Price Drop for TV Shows in iTunes Store

A single song can easily stand alone. People don't mind buying them individually. I personally prefer full albums from the artists I love, but again I seem to be the minority rather than the majority. As a fan of a TV show though, someone isn't going to just want one off episodes. Maybe for some series you can get away with that, but there are plenty of series these days with a clear overarching theme. Why would people only buy a single episode here and there? They want to see the whole series. If the prices were cut, I agree with  that you would see many more people snatching up whole seasons of shows through the iTunes store. I know i've been waiting for this moment to start snatching them up. I just hope I do not turn out to be the minority once again in this case.

Apple arguing to have iTunes TV show prices cut?

Simplify Media

So I just shared an article from Google Reader, you'll see this if you look at the little widget down and to the left of my Blogger blog page, about a new iPhone application called SimplifyMedia written by the company Simplify Media. If you create accounts with their service, you can install this application on the iPhone or iPod Touch and stream your own iTunes music to the devices. This is a very cool in and of itself, but what is even cooler is that you can also stream music from the iTunes libraries of friends who are also registered for this service. Very cool!

Cool

I like this little My iTunes HTML widgit I just added to my blog. Good stuff. That was pretty smart on Apple's part. Not sure how many people will actually use it, but I suppose we shall see.
