Australian iTunes contract with record labels external link icon

Think Secret has details of Apple’s contract with record labels for selling tracks on iTunes. Certainly looks like Apple will be making a good profit. Profit, mind you, is dependant on keeping your customers.

I was looking at this album (seen on Flying Nerd) in iTunes. Customers are clearly not happy with a stuff up by Apple.

Giz a hint? As a non-user of iTunes, I can’t share in the joke.

It seems that for that album, “She will have her way: the songs of Tim and Neil Finn”, two of the tracks were incomplete.

So, there are a lot of customer reviews in iTunes that explain their unhappiness.

Aaahhhh. Well, that’ll do it.

Personally, I prefer to own the (physical) CD for my music, and have the opportunity to compress on my own terms when I need to. For my Rio Karma, I use the Ogg Vorbis encoder, which is usually considered to be substantially superior to MP3 (at same bit rate) and usually a little bit better than WMA as well. But I’m not trying to start a compression standards debate. Whatever works for any individual or application is fine by me!
