iTunes Store - Is there something you wish that they would have?

[knittingknerd]

If you like Echo & the Bunnymen, then you'd probably like the Psychedelic Furs.

I keep hearing I will like them....

Daft Punks Discovery album was recently put up, so all I need is for them to put up the Beatles and I'll be happy.

ANYTHING from Three Caballero's. In fact, it'd be nice if I could find it anywhere online since I haven't been able to find even the theme song for the Gran Fiesta Tour video I want to do.

Sigh.

[flynnibus]

also adding for music, I would like them to have some Beatles songs, too.

The Beatles music isn't available for online download anywhere CURRENTLY.. but that is changing.. read on

The Beatles will probably never be available on iTunes at this rate, given their lawsuit against Apple.

I think Paul and Ringo would have to die first.

Actually I had heard something weeks ago on the radio or somewhere about Beatles music being availalbe on iTunes in the future. But I don't remember when the target date was. It was actually part of a legal settlement between Apple and the Beatles.

The terms of the apple corps settlement (this years last round) were confidential, but the terms disclosed did not include the Beatles on iTunes. Mainly that Apple (computer) will get all the rights to the Apple trademark and use, and will license it back to Apple Corp (the music label).

Paul said last year they would be going digital with the Beatles music 'soon' but that didn't mean too soon

Recently, an interview with billboard pinned it as in '2008'.

McCartney tells Billboard.com that "it's all happening soon. Most of us are all sort of ready. The whole thing is primed, ready to go -- there's just maybe one little sticking point left, and I think it's being cleared up as we speak, so it shouldn't be too long. It's down to fine-tuning, but I'm pretty sure it'll be happening next year, 2008."

Another big barrier was bad blood between Apple and EMI - which has finally flushed out as well.

Back to the OP... my biggest wishes for itunes are simply
- stop being so miserably slow as a program
- allow me to redownload music I purchased! Having to backup all my digital downloads really is a PITA

...apple's dirty little secret. Lose your media? You're SOL - gotta buy it all again if you want it back.

D.v.d.a.

I wish iTunes had music that actually sounded like the original recordings. The quality of their music downloads is crap. I only go on iTunes occasionally to browse movies/video. For music, I use Rhapsody or Amazon.

[nursemelis374]

I agree about them sometimes forcing you to buy an entire album if you want a song. I hadn't encountered that until recently and it stinks! I also wish they would have the soundtrack to "For the Boys". I love that movie and the soundtrack and want it on iTunes!

[justjohn]

I just started using Amazon as well. Their music is less expensive, seems to download faster, they come in as MP3 and DRM free and install into iTunes automatically once you download their installer.

[Retrocool]

I wish they offered more free music, cheaper titles, and across-the-board track-by-track availability. Requiring consumers to purchase a full album in order to get a specific track or two only motivates me to get the CD, provided one is available.

Also, offer more out-of-print titles, as well as a variety of bitrates, including Apple Lossless.

I'm with the better search...finding international music is a PAIN. You have to go under world and can't even look at Greek music without having to pull your hair out searching for 3 months.

[MollyTrolly]

The biggest issue is when I want a soundtrack from a movie and they dont have it so then I have to look up the soundtrack and find each sond individually (and they normally dont have all of them). Its a pain, which is why I rarely buy anything from iTunes (probably only own 30 sogns total). If its something I really want I will buy the CD and upload it. The only things I buy from iTunes are things I cant find in CD or that I don;t want the whole thing.
