I guess that's nice but isn't one of the main concepts and selling
points of iTunes the ability to buy only the songs you want from an
album? The idea being that many (most?) albums contain one or two
"good" songs but when CDs were your only option, you had to pay for
all the "crummy" songs, too, in order to hear the "good" ones. In
essense, now they're offering a discount on the "crummy" songs! :-)


I can think of a couple of situations where someone would go for this
but, to me, it seems counterintuitive to the basic iTunes concept. I'm
not trying to start a big controversy here. It just seemed odd to me
and I'm just wondering, am I missing something in this new service?
(If so, it wouldn't be the first good idea I've discounted in my life!)

Go to the store, click the button and see the albums that apply,
select one and you'll see that whatever from it that you have
previously purchased is greyed out and the rest show up and now you
can see if you want to buy the remaining songs without having to do
all the click and find yourself as long as it's within 6 mos. of the
purchase of the earlier song[s]....what a great concept!
