iTunes gripe

As many of you already know, SYTYCD is one of my top 5 tv shows. Also, one of my favourite toys is my iPod (I’m getting a Touch so soon I can taste it… thank you new job!). Anyhoo, I spend a lot of time on YouTube watching and re-watching (and re-re –watching and re-re-... oh, you get the drift) some of my favourite routines from the show. I was thinking after watching the “Addiction” routine for what felt like the millionth time, “wouldn’t it be awesome if I could buy these on iTunes?” We could get pristine copies with the judges comments edited out on our little handheld devices. I’d be willing to pay up to $5 for a 2 minute routine and I’m sure I’m not alone. It’s win/win for everyone. So who do I email about this?

iTunes blues

I love iTunes. Unfortunately I shop at the store daily, convinced that my one little $.99 purchase isn't going to break the bank. Then I realise that's my 6th this week and when added up to my around 6 every week for months, it actually IS going to break the bank. It's like being pecked to death. But I do download everything that's free. Why wouldn't I?

When I listen to the radio, I often listen to a station called "BobFM". They play songs from "80's, 90's and whenever". I have to say I love that station. Why wouldn't I? They're entire playlist is on my nano. So why is it that I can listen to the radio all day but my iTunes playlist bores me after an hour? And it's not a headphones issue. It happens when I play the songs from my computer. What's up with that?

I hand-picked the songs, I bought the cds, spent a bomb at the iTunes store and lovingly put them all on my machine, sorted into various playlists (my favourites are "ad tunes" where all the songs are from tv commercials, songs I discovered from So You Think You Can Dance and one called "GASP!" for run training). So why does my own music make me crazy? It's a question for the ages.
