    This is about as exciting as having dibs on the digitally remastered soundtrack to Highlander II.

    Brilliant. Give non-Mac users a desire to use P2P to acquire the music.

    Bah. Its just a soundtrack. As with all movie soundtracks you will be able to find all of its songs on the next "NOW Thats What I Call Music 37" compilation - which you can encode as you see fit.

      They'll just have to find one of the 5 mac users that're still left, of course.

    What if I prefer to buy my music in a more lasting form?
    Tough shit.

    What if I prefer my music to be compressed with FLAC?
    Tough shit.

    What if I prefer to compress my music with MY parameters, to meet MY standards of audio fidelity?
    Tough shit.

    I don't like that this won't be available as a plain ol' CD.
    Tough shit.

    What an intriguing thought from someone who obviously has kept up with the Apple music situation.

    Just for that, this Joe Midwest is going to buy the damn album. See, I've already got a Mac, an iPod, an iTunes account, 'lectricity AND indoor plumbing. Let me guess, you're on a coast aren't you?

    I think that offtopic was being used as a proxy for the non-existant clueless moderation.
