Apple Sells Two Million Songs in 16 Days
burgburgburg writes "According to Apple's latest press release, iTunes Music Store has sold over two million songs in the 16 days that it has been open. Quick calculations show this is around 1.44 songs per second. And as was the case last week, over half of the songs purchased so far were purchased as albums. Over 4,300 songs were added to the system yesterday, including older catalog stuff (Doors, John Coltrane, Charles Mingus), new albums (Cold, Lizz Wright, and Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs), prerelease tracks (Michelle Branch, Da Brat, Jesse Harris and Kenna) and more."
It's a cute comment, but this is modded up to high.
Either you are lieing or something is seriously wrong with your mac.
Most likely you have either a hard drive that is getting write errors or you have a wayward extension or you have so much in memory you are getting some sort of virtual memory hell.
try booting os 9 with extensions off , virtual memory on but set to just 1meg (or turned off), and try doing the copy between two other devices than your hard drive. even a network disk copy or buring to a CD should not take 20min for 16 megs on a 300Mhz cpu.
