The first I bought because I liked the song. The second I bought because I went back and realized I like the album, and this was before this feature existed (it's been around for a while now.) Other possibilities is if you buy a compilation, then want to expand your selection of a particular album.<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Just because most albums have one or two good songs and a bunch of filler does not mean that all of the are like that.</div><div>-- </div><div>- Jon<br><div><div><div>On Feb 27, 2008, at 7:00 PM, Jeff Muller wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">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! :-)<br><br>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?
