I just made my first few purchases from the iTunes music store:

  • Crazy Train (live)
  • Ring of Fire (by Johnny Cash, covered by Social Distortion
  • Rock around the Clock
  • Smoke on the Water (live)
  • I thought you were my Boyfriend Single by the Magnetic Fields (3 songs: 49 cents!)
  • Float on by Modest Mouse

Of course, I immediately burned it to CD and re-ripped it as MP3. Screw fidelity—it’s security I care most about. No way I’m trusting my purchases to a format I ultimately have no control over.

Despite that one minor inconvenience, overall a superb experience.

I have a feeling this could get addictive.
