Well, mixed emotions today....I am usually the champion of all things Apple. Today I died a little inside. On the other hand, I am ecstatic! Most classical musicians know that almost anything put out on the Deutsche Grammaphone record label is a quality product. Today, DG launched their own digital download service. Right now, hundreds of albums are available online and within weeks, thousands. This is the first digital download service that allows you to download a single movement of a symphony (still, you now you should get to know the entire work, right?). The pricing for a single movement is either $1.29 or $1.99, which is a whole lot of music in the orchestral world! The files are non-DRM protected MP3's ripped at 320K, so the quality is superior to iTunes and you get a pdf with liner-notes even if you download a single track.
Dear Apple,
This is how it's done!
Signed,
me.
