- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+50Do people seriously use Limewire still? I understand the whole "I don't feel like paying for stuff" mentality, but...
BitTorrent = free food at the place where your friend works
Limewire = looking for food in the dumpster - FregTK, on 10/12/2007, -8/+54This is a feature that is made possible by the digital download model and should have been there from the start.
Better late than never I suppose. - nace33, on 10/12/2007, -0/+31Now, if they would only do this with TV episodes!!!
- thefirelane, on 10/12/2007, -5/+31What about iDon'tCareAboutYourOpinion
- thinkart, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25hey halifax1-- ever thought "maybe i shouldn't click on that apple related link to that apple related article"? MAYBE IF YOU THINK 1ST BEFORE YOU CLICK, YOU WOULDNT HAVE TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS!!
- raynar, on 10/12/2007, -24/+46Will iTunes help me search Limewire to complete my album?
- AssProphet, on 10/12/2007, -15/+26it's nice, but drop the drm, and we're good to go.
otherwise, it's bt for me. - notarebel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I've bought a few singles, and yes, it lets you complete the album. It does not apply to EP's though.
- BlueDjinn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I think you're misunderstanding the terms of the "limited time offer"--
The feature appears to be permanent; the normal offer will be good for 6 months from the date of purchase going forward.
The "limited time" refers to the fact that they're temporarily waiving the 6-month limit (allowing you to complete albums purchased more than 6 months ago). - Hulacat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9An easy way to make a wishlist is to just create a playlist, name it "Wishlist", and then drag songs directly from the iTunes Music Store into that playlist. When you play a song in that list, the 30 second sample for the song plays, and then when you're ready to purchase it, you can go straight from that list into the store.
Of course, that doesn't help you if you'd like to be able to share that list with others, but as a helpful list for yourself, it works just fine. - APErebus, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12Finally, A useful addition to iTunes. Seems like they haven't made any major improvements in a while... Or maybe thats just me
- charlesroldan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10HAY GUYZ WHATS GOING ON IN THIS THREAD
- chrisgeleven, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Never happened to me. Make sure you iPod has the latest firmware.
- smspence, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7muchocoffee:
It's not Apple's fault that there is DRM. Because of the current situation with the RIAA, they have the choice between selling music with DRM, or selling not music at all. Selling DRM-less music is not an option for Apple. Did you ever read that open letter from Steve Jobs on that issue?
http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughtsonmusic/ - shmurfect, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7How about a simple wishlist already? That's been on my wishlist since iTunes' inception.
- chrisgeleven, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7They did redesign the iTunes store a little bit when iTunes 7 came out. Otherwise, your right, it has been awhile since new iTunes store features have been released.
- chrisgeleven, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Doesn't help for those of us who already own the CD, but iTunes has one extra "album only" track that isn't on the CD.
Prime example off the top of my head: Linkin Park's "My December", which is available on the iTunes version of Hybrid Theory as an album only download, but isn't available on the CD version. - starbird, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@crtjer
I think the alert feature is not iTunes purchase dependent. I think you browse for an artist and sign up then.
Let me check (why spam the comments with a thought I can just as easily prove)
yup. I have never purchased No Doubt (through iTunes) but I can create an alert for them. Though I don't see a page listing them, and the macrumors link doesn't work.
But, the Complete my album? It even works for albums I got with free pepsi points, it seems.... - totorototoro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It is, fittingly enough, in your account settings. Under Purchase History.
- wipis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Would this apply to singles? Because if I buy a single then it comes out on an album and I want to get it I don't want to have to pay for essentially the same song twice. Good content but this article could be better.
- aristotle0dude, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6@willynilly: I don't know if you are trolling or you don't get the distinction. The "my" in this case is not being used in the "filesystem" but rather in reference to managing "my" content in "my" account in an online service. iTMS may be wrapped inside an application but it is essentially a SOAP based webservice rendered in a custom thin client interface.
You are comparing Apples to Oranges I'm afraid. - superkendall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Or an older iPod. I have the 1st gen, I also have podcasts come up on shuffle. As noted, new ones do not do that...
- DJCult, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4@Willy: I meant to digg you down. Pressed 'up' by accident. I needed you to know that I was digging you DOWN.
- kirk06, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5How 'bout you stop your 'cutsie' little counter thing.
It's annoying. Period. - notarebel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@ riksweeney
Not in my case. I bought the Long Distance Call single from Phoenix before the albums release, and it's now letting me complete the album. - cgomez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2No. What are you talking about?
If you had previously bought "Promiscuous" from Nelly Furtado, you can now get a $1 credit to the purchase of her full, award-winning album. It will download all of the songs except that one when you purchase it. - binderhead, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7Better late than never, but at least this will get rid of all of those people who complain because they can't get the album only tracks, even though they bought most of the songs already.
I hate those people when I'm trying to get non-robotic, less analytical reviews of an artist or album without reading through review sites.
I don't know that I'd use it, but hey, someone will benefit and it took Apple twenty minutes to build into iTunes. +1 digg for that. - notarebel, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7Clearly it's music purchased on iTunes Music Store only. How would they be able to distinguish between music you purchased and music you've downloaded?
- asuraci, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Does the "My Alerts" work with anything in your library, or does it have to be things bought from their store? It could be extremely useful, but if it only checks items you've bought directly from them, well, I'm screwed.
- imsobored151, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2My alerts has been out for awhile.
- MacParrot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Isn't there some conspiracy thing going on that you need to adjust your tinfoil hat for? You sure seem to enjoy spending time writing crap about products you don't use. Seems like a colossal waste of time to me, but hey, it's your iKharma.
- CheeseheadDave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If you've changed any of the ID3 tags, such as the genre or artist name, the automagic cover art download probably won't work.
- assassinmaids, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@cgomez: I see now. I thought that you get the credit and an additional discount.
- crtjer, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Very cool idea, don't use iTunes that much but does anyone know if the new artist release system only works with iTunes purchased music or does it also work with CD purchased music?
- y2048, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Doesn't seem to work that way unfortunately. I've got two albums of which I bought 10 songs each, and neither is offering me a "complete this album" option (which would've otherwise allowed me to download 3 songs for $0.09).
I guess they set a minimum price for your remaining songs, and once you go below that you're SOL :-( - mechanisma22, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It at first sounded like "Pimp My Album" then I read it again and it said Complete my album. I love this feature, I've had so many songs I've bought and then bought the album only to have duplicate songs and less money. I just bought the rest of the 30 Seconds to Mars album for a dollar off.
- igutekunst, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2You never see a comment with a lot of digg's near the bottom? It's a steady progression to the crap comments with -65 diggs. I have a feeling I might join the club. What happened to the good old days?
- crazybrit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Cool, but I think I'll stick with last.fm - more music, and I don't have to buy DRM'd crap.
- Quix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"downloading it once or 1000 times shouldn't make a difference" - Topher06
But who is supposed to pay for the bandwidth for the 1,000 times you download your .99 cent song? Should Apple just cover the tab because you're too lazy or foolish to back up your purchases?
It's 2007. Take responsibility for your own data. - foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have a few songs I got from CDs from my library, and there is no complete my album feature for it.
- eteyemd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1just make a "recently purchased" playlist and it will show all of them. Actually, this is one of iTunes default playlists. This should work for you.
- eth3l, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2kirk06:1
eth3l: 0 - monosyth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have 402 albums to complete?! I guess I use iTunes alot... most of the albums are $6-9, and there are plenty that I wanted to download the albums in the past, so i am in love with this new feature!
- SpacemanSpiff01, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Albums have been variable for a while now. (As long as I can remember.)
- graywolf323, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1seems to be glitchy, its offering to complete albums that I already have complete (even stranger for the ones that I bought complete off iTunes)
- 5plic3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm happy as long as they don't add "My Documents" or "My Computer" :p
- alefox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ok, so if i buy a song from an album that contains 20 songs, i buy 9 more songs. Now I want the rest, with the .99 credit does that mean i get the rest for free???
- Braxo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Say an album sells for $9.99 and has 13 tracks.
If you bought two of those tracks for $1.98 then the Complete My Album would cost you $8.01 - steve693, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Will I be able to redownload my previously purchased song(s) when I use the complete my album feature?
- totorototoro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Not sure if "recently purchased" will show all your songs...but a smartplaylist with .mp4 should work too.
