Apple Announces 25 Million Song Downloads

Posted by pudge on from the over-n-million-served dept.

Tweder writes "On Apple's iTunes site, Apple has announced that music fans have purchased and downloaded over 25 Million songs from the iTunes Music Store. It seems the launch of the ITMS on the Windows platform has boosted sales tremendously." I suppose this is where I am expected to say something along the lines of, "I thought the recording industry said that this business model wouldn't work, that people won't pay for what they can download for free?" So, there you go.

    or are you just upset that it doesn't work with your mp3 player and you are afraid that closed DMR standards would put you out of business?

    No, business is going great - Slim Devices has always opposed DRM, and our customers generally appreciate that.

    I'm bitching only as a music enthusiast.
