So, how come this comes as no surprise to me. It seems as though BuyMusic.com’s service isn’t quite living up to expectations when compared against the Apple Music Store. From an article in USA Today:
The Mac-only iTunes has won raves for ease of use, both in burning CDs and transferring songs to Apple’s iPod players. But BuyMusic’s tracks have started out as unplayable, even on portables lent to the press in a promotional blitz.
Additionally, it may be that BuyMusic is using music without the artist’s permission in some cases. From an article at macnn.com:
Here’s what I’ve deduced… BuyMusic.com (which I will refer to as BM) got their “vast” music library of 300,000 plus songs from a company called the Orchard. The Orchard is a distribution company that has consistently shafted artists by not paying them for CD’s sold nor returning unsold CD’s or canceling contracts. So, without the express consent of what is likely all of the Orchards catalog, BM has put it up for sale at the bargain price of $.79 a song.
Whereas I’m glad to see that Apple is holding its own in the music business I still feel as though they are somewhat dropping the ball with regards to getting the Apple Music Store available to Windows users before all of the competition does. Looks like a lot of people are, again, going to be taking mediocrity as their breakfast, lunch and dinner.
