iTunes Sells 500 Millionth Song

Posted by Zonk on from the grats! dept.

TJPile writes "Apple's iTunes Music Store can now say half a billion served. One look at Apple's front page says it all. Sunday, at 2:44PM EST, Amy Greer of Lafayette, Indiana bought Faith Hill's Mississippi Girl to win."

    That's also about 5000% growth in sales from one year to the next. If Linux had numbers like that you'd be splooging your geek seed all over the net and bitching because CNN doesn't have direct links to Ubuntu 2.3.5.3234 beta on their front page. You're just pissed off because the popular kids and their cool player are encroaching on your nerd turf and MP3's aren't your precious h4x0r baby any more. Accept it, asshole - Apple's marketing "turd" makes your OS looks like cat doots.

    Why the FUCK would you want to re-encode ANY lossy format such as AAC, MP3 or OGG Vorbis into FLAC? It is a pointless, stupid waste of space, time and computrons.
