Journal TheRaven64's Journal: Happy Birthday From Apple 2
Tuesday was my birthday (I drank a large quantity of Champagne before finally getting to bed at 6am). My birthday present from Apple was the launch of iTMS in the UK (which seems not to have been covered on /.). While it's more expensive than the US one (79p, while Apple's calculator informs me that 99 is equal to just under 55p), it is still cheaper than buying CDs (about 5 pounds cheaper on one of the albums I bought. I didn't check any of the others) and a whole lot more convenient.
The new terms of the DRM mean that I can listen to the music I buy on up to 5 computers (completely useless now I've decommissioned all of the computers I used to use except my PowerBook and the FreeBSD box that runs my web, mail and subversion servers), burn it to CD (also not useful, since the only CD players I own are inside computers) and put it on my iPod (very useful, since my iPod is either on my belt or plugged into my stereo 99% of the time). All in all, I am very impressed with the service.
