I just had my very first iTunes shopping experience, and I must say, I really quite liked it. Maybe I like it because I am using a gift certificate (thanks to John), money that did not originate from my own pocket; browsing a very decent collection of music at a very decent price, without having to leave the comfort of my pajamas, without having to get off my ass, without having to open that shitty plastic packaging – all bundled up in a sweet, personalized and highly organized interface; this, my friends, is the future of shopping and the future is sweet. I was skeptical at first, I figured that the music collection would be weak, I am not one for the mainstream/contemporary genre, however I was pleased to see that the first three albums I have been wanting in recent days are up and ready for purchase on iTunes. They not only give you track listings, but provide you with much of the same information that Amazon does, in regards to similar purchases and reviews. And you don't miss out on the album artwork, well not the cover art anyways. I suppose that is my first complaint when it comes to sharing and swapping digital music – there is nothing tangible, no booklet, no mini poster, no interesting paper folding methods or paper choices. I am one of those people that enjoys the experience of looking through album art, examining the designs and reading the lyrics while I sing the songs. But I hate the shitty plastic wrapping.
