Consumer Report

I purchase music via iTunes, and it's irksome.

It only has about half of the songs I look for, and it has annoying crap like the following. I want a song called something like 'Zvezda Rok 'n Rolla' by a Russian group called Leningrad. It's on the Everything Is Illuminated soundtrack, and it's worth dropping 99 cents on. As you may have guessed, iTunes didn't have it when I searched for it. The part where I'm getting truly screwed is that iTunes does have it, they have the damn file somewhere up their musical anus, but it's not in the United States store (Which would be the colon, probably. I'm not too strong on anatomy.) It is, however, in the German store. Unfortunately, I'm not authorized to purchase from the German store. I suppose the euro really is dominating the dollar, at what must be 40-1 or so.

I used to really like Apple, but this situation coupled with their lack of flexibility regarding music I've purchased makes me gnash my teeth.

Not Listening to: Leningrad- Zvezda Rok 'n Rolla

Listening to: Clem Snide- Your Music

  • They probably don't have a liscense to sell the song in America.. The song protection things are dumb though.
