iTunes 4 is cool and all, but the feature I like the most is Music Sharing. If you look around, you can connect to people's music lists outside your IP subnet. Just make sure you have the "Look for shared music" checkbox on in your Preferences, and connect to the other person's IP address.

Even better: If you have a fast enough internet connection, list your IP and music type here so others can listen to the cool songs you have.

The selection of jazz and classical is horrific. Their Wes Montgomery selection includes neither Incredible Jazz Guitar nor Full House, and their Cannonball Adderley collection is equally bad. I won't be using this service until they have a much broader selection of tracks, i.e. ones that would be hard to find or out of print on CD.

I guess that that is a concern... the whole "not enough music" thing... I found a few of my favorite artists... but I don't like how their 'world' cataggory only reaches to mexico and... maybe africa.... "world" includes germany, france, australia, russia, china, and many other places each with unique styles of music.

For what it is worth...

No music service is perfect. I have the fewest objections with this one, and the interface with itunes is great! I've already looked for several items I couldn't find, but that is just like any store. This store has an easy to find place to make requests. I've been buying books from audible.com for a year, and now I have a place to buy music. I like it.

I'd say that if I had money that I wasn't saving for a projector and cart, I'd use the service but it still doesn't have some of the stuff I like. Keep in mind the service is less than 48 hours old.

The nice thing about it, though, is that you don't have to sign up or anything. So if you want a song you can just search for it, and buy it if they have it; but if they don't, whatever.. you don't lose anything! Tough I agree completely, things will be much better when there's more music available. It'll come, I'm sure.
