Wow, it's amazing how quickly your library builds when you browse the Apple Music Store.

I've now spent ~$150 on the Apple Music Store, simply because I buy every song that comes to my head.

Ay caramba.

That is crazy! I am glad I am still on 56k, otherwise I would have probably downloaded tons of music from the apple music store.:)

Wow.... I'm astonished that people just seem to like to waiste money....
For that amount of money you could have unlimited downloads at PureTunes. They have a huge collections like Musicstore but are much much cheaper and all the songs are without DRM!!!

Do you work for puretunes or something? I seem to be relaly pushing it. It is not legal. They need to really bend the law in order to call this a legal service.

Well even though I can't access the iTMS (come on international stores) personally I'd prefer to be giving something back to the artists whose music I liked so they'd make some more.

I see no way in which this service values the people who actually make the music.

My friend, it is YOU who is wasting your money and being ripped off.

No I do not work for Puretunes, just recently heard about it,
but if you are thinking that the majority of the money is going to the artist, you have absolutely no idea how the music industry works.

So far it's only PC compatible. It is legal now, but you can bet your bootie that this loophole in Spanish law will be closed pretty darned quick.

$61 and counting.... Last Sunday I was bored, clicking through the Store and before you knew it I had already downloaded 9 singles. It is just too easy!
