It amazes even me...
Apple somehow converted me from getting my songs for free to actually paying for them. I don't think I've downloaded a song illegaly since the ITMS came out. Wow. :)
To date, I've downloaded 71 songs from iTunes. How about you? :D

Anywya, to date, I have downloaded the same number of songs from iTunes as I have downloaded illegally. That being none. I do have some that I obtained legally - from mp3.com and from various musicians websites.
At this point the music I am purchasing currently has yet to appear on the iTunes music shop.

59... all from Pepsi caps
Bought one song twice by accident (using two precious credits!) and contacted Apple to see if I could get credit back for one... never heard back from them. Makes me not want to use iTMS for purchasing my music. While it was a free song, it seems like a bug to let the service let you buy the same song twice. So now I have 59 songs instead of 60.... oh well...
on a side note, drinking so much diet pepsi lately has made it start to taste too sweet for me. guess my taste buds have changed. it almosts tastes like grape soda. switching to bottled water.

I have downloaded 47 songs, but I only paid for 2! I bought about ten winning Pepsi's, and picked the rest up at work. I was recently assigned recycling duties for my group. I hit the motherload!
My dad probably has about 30 caps laying around. He already told me that he can't find any of the music he wants. Being old, he likes oldies, but a search for "oldies" doesn't turn up much. And, like me, he can never think of any names. I used the R&B charts, and went back about ten years and picked out the songs that I remember and like. I'm not sure if he's tried that, and I'm not sure if the charts on iTMS go back as far as he would need!

938 songs so far. Unfortunately I ended up downloading a song off of Gnutella last night. I haven’t touched P2P in about 7 months for music but there is no way in hell I'm paying 15 bucks for a CD when all I want is one single song off the soundtrack. I will continue to replace the 6,000+ pirated songs with legit ones as time goes on but if the RIAA, the artists, and their agents are going to be ***es about providing their ENTIRE collection to iTMS, Napster, and the like.... screw it I will continue to steal.
PS- I didn't even have to compromise in sound quality. The track was in original WAV format. I simply encoded it into AAC.

man, i've only gotten two. the way the network here at school prioritizes things makes it quite difficult to get them downloaded.

Bought one song twice by accident (using two precious credits!)
thats weird, i did the same thing, but when i clicked to buy it the second time it said i already puchased that song (and i think it gave me the option to cancel or continue. . . were you just clicking too fast?!)
but right now i have. . . wow, good number 42. . . most from gift certificates 2 from pepsi caps and i still have 4 more pepsi caps left. . . . i got 6 caps and 6 winners. . . . tehe. . . its not stealing though.
i have gotten i think three songs in not so legitimate ways because they WER NOT ON ITUNES!!! and my list of NOT ON ITUNES is growing all the time. even from bands like areosmith which have lots of songs on iTunes. . . they do something dumb like not release albums that are earlier than a certain date. . . :-/

As my Quebecois brethern would say "Moi aussi!" Waiting for a iTMS to open here in Canada has been painfull. I sympathize with you guys on the other side of the pond.

i have gotten i think three songs in not so legitimate ways because they WERE NOT ON ITUNES!!! and my list of NOT ON ITUNES is growing all the time. Yeah, that's the problem I have: much of the stuff I'd really like to dig into (and get the people-also-bought recommendations on!) isn't on iTunes, or any other legitimate service. And there's some stuff that you'd think would be there, and isn't. So for those, I've finally had to give up and go elsewhere.
But I've bought over 100 songs from iTunes, none in albums, and redeemed about 10 Pepsi codes (my friend was saving them for me but got distracted by the birth of his first daughter :) ).

i'd say 50% of the music i want is not on iTunes. iTunes is for the MTV, POP, radio songs. Not if your looking for some real hardcore music from any genre
Wash!!
Apr 23, 2004, 11:46 AM
I have 111 songs but 14 from pepsi :D this is the most music I have bought in the last 5 years since I already had 300 plus CD in my collection
