I disagree with this statement: I don't think they're convincing to the people here - the techies - but to the average user? I think that it resonates - and not because the average user has spent 1000's of dollars on iTunes music, but because paying $15 a month to get access to millions of tracks of music is a compelling feature for some people.

Those are harder topics to pitch, but hopefully this is the first of many commercials they'll be doing and they'll explore those benefits as well.
