iTunes is Too Easy
I woke up this morning not to the sound of someone making me a cup of tea in the kitchen but instead the new Junior Senior video being blasted on the iMacs’ sad little speakers. Megan just kept repeating it over and over and over. Finally I made it up myself and offered to buy her the album today so we could at least listen to it on the stereo and in the car. Of course this begs the question as to why I still can’t play MP3/AAC through the stereo but that’s another blog. Anyways, Megan takes off for a run and I get to return to my tea.
Now I’m sitting in the kitchen trying to think how and when I’m going to make it to Sonic Boom to buy this album when the epiphany hits me, iTunes! Flip the PowerBook open, click on Music Store, search for Junior Senior, press Buy Album (I had already signed up for the iTunes store) and not 6 minutes later I had the entire album on my computer. 5 minutes later there were two albums sitting on my kitchen table. Too smooth, too cool and way way way too easy. Just now I’m thinking about all these other albums I want and can’t help but start searching the iTunes site. Thankfully I keep reminding myself that I do have a credit card attached to this account. Now where’s that old ThinkPad, I think I’ve got my new living room music computer…
