i am beginning to prefer amazon's mp3 store to itunes

[seperis]

Granted, before my Android phone's data plan and the unlimited storage of the cloudplayer, my resolution to stop using iTunes with its distressing habit of deleting my libraries at random wasn't really working. Most of this was to the fact that I loathed surfing amazon's site to get music when iTunes delivered it directly to my player and didn't

thank you for the musical sampler! 
I have also migrated from itunes to amazon for music. I was 2/3 of the way there already,  but now, Cloudplayer! how I love it!

I love the cloudplayer. It was totally worth the $25 a year to have all my music conveniently housed in one place!

You're welcome! I hope you enjoy a few of them!

I was just wondering if you had ever considered Spotify?

Also, I hear you about Katy Perry. I could not call myself a fan of hers but yet I never turn her songs off and sometimes even jam to them. Often in the car. And I went to see her movie. (It was free at least.)

Katy Perry is just monumentally catchy.

I haven't used it yet, but I wnt to say I donwloaded the app at some point.

One reason I prefer to buy music from Amazon instead of iTunes is that I can set my purchases/downloads to a higher quality of file compression. I wonder if iTunes uses the lowest quality for it's samples.

[seperis]

The quality definitely has dropped and it's frustrating, because their samples are the reason I go to iTunes store at all and still buy the occasional song when I'm there and notice a sale. So they're giving me no reason whatsoever now to go there; youtube will do just as well.

she's one of my top three female artists ever, and this is because of Battlestar Galactica vids at Vividcon. This may seem possibly the least sense-making approach to music, but here's the thing. I've heard that your musical tastes are pretty much set at x date and everything is variations after that, which may or may not be true. I can tell you I didn't like any of her music--again, taste, not quality--until this Starbuck vid and now she can kind of do no wrong. I don't even know what to call that; all it took was one vidded song and boom, all of her music suddenly came into perspective.

Fuck, yeah, "Cuz I Can!" Also, "God is a DJ," but "Cuz I Can" was the Starbuck vid where I really GOT IT.

This sentiment is completely sensible to me.

HELLO VID MUSIC SOUL MATE!

Seriously, I was at Club Vivid and stopped dancing in the middle of the floor when it came up on rotation and was totally blown away by the vid. And Pink is now forever a favorite.

[alethialia]

HIHI! I feel I must also mention "I'm Not Dead." That was an oversight on my part. I worship dualbunny for those vids, seriously. I've now rewatched them all. THEY ARE STILL AMAZING.

I bought Pink's album because of those vids.

Chekcing as soon as I get some free moments! Well, in teh next hour, prob.
