Now that I've finally processed that half my music died in Katrina, I'm going about replacing it. Some things are automatically replaced in kind--Prince I'm getting in hard copy, no discussion. Some things I realise that I didn't like all the album, and I just buy a few tracks from iTunes. Yet, I still decided to get the Tina Turner album from iTunes. Others I realised that I didn't remember many of the tracks, but I find the artist interesting enough (Meshell Ndegeocello) that I'll buy the whole thing and listen to it--via my "New&Unheard" playlist. One day I'll have listened to every song.
It would be cool if there was iTunes exclusive content--like you get an extra track if you buy it there.
I need to look at this eMusic thing.
The worst thing about iTunes is that I can hear a new song on a TV show, google the lyrics, and have bought it before the commercial break is over.
Really?
Yeah. I don't have my main iTunes computer in front of me to look up some eMusic mp3s, but I think most stuff is about 160 kbps, VBR.
Oh yeah, eMusic gives you mp3s with no DRM.
I am using eMusic and I know their catalogue is growing everyday, but I found them to have more indie than popular stuff.
There are iTunes exclusives - just look on the front page.

Nice. Maybe I'll get my 50 free songs after all.
Can someone please get a Random Facts thing going about Batman?
I can't do batman, but how about bats --
Size does matter in bats' evolution
A research team led by Syracuse University biologist Scott Pitnick found that in bat species where the females are promiscuous, the males boasting the largest testicles also had the smallest brains.

In albums, or just as singles?
Oh, and I hate the fact that podcasts come up in default searches. It's distracting. They should have separate searches for that.

If a thing ever needed to happen, it's this. Maybe when I get home to where my comics are...
Given that he doesn't kill the bad guys, I'm having a hard time thinking of any. My brain is broken.
I think some are exclusive live versions some you can only get by buying the whole album.

Oh yeah, I shoulda' mentioned that.
eMusic and iTunes both have the "similar artists" feature (eta: "Listeners also bought" in iTunes), which at first I figured there was little point to, but in recent months I've discovered some really good bands this way. (Solex being my biggest find from eMusic's "similar artists" thingie.)

My dog is the only one comes to mind.
And then a lot of squealing and head-shaking (me shaking her head) (also me squealing) ensues until it's either dropped or swallowed. And then some more squealing and ewing for good measure. Either way, no pay off.
