The news comes from a report published by the Wall Street Journal (subscription required.)"<br /><br />Whether it reaches this milestone or not, the iTunes Music Store is unquestionably a success. Already reaching 50 million downloads, at an average rate of 2.5 million per week. No other online music service has even come close to matching these numbers. You can't argue with that success. :wink:

undoubtebly a success the music store it (yoda talk!)

Sure I might be a big anti-online pay-per-song activist, but the fact that this many people are too lazy to walk to a nearby store and grab a CD with 1024bit encoding is astounding :lol: :wink:

Umm no.... I am a big anti-pay $17.99+ for one song that I like... the fact I can just buy the one song is the real value....

AH....well my argument is quality and I get my CDs for $1.79(maybe less if the exchange rate is good) :wink:

Laziness has nothing to do with it. 1024bit encoding doesn't rellly matter anyway since you really can't tell the difference between 320KBps mp3 anyway.
