iTunes Previews

Post by ric »

Is it just me, or did they just change from 30 second previews to 1 minute and 30 second previews? :shock:

What could be the cause of this change? :-k

no, they did. Which is pretty cool in my opinion. I don't if that's for every song, but that's how it's been for all the songs I've bought lately, so you never know.

Ya, Apple has been trying to do this for over a year, and they finally got the rights from the music companies to do so. I like having long previews!

Oh cool! I didn't notice this! In some cases you end up with free music when the song is short. (see:Five Iron Frenzy: Chseeses")

Hey guys, since we're on the iTunes thing, some of you might be interested in the free download of tobyMac's Christmas single on iTunes.

Maybe you have to be logged in to get 1:30 previews.... :-k

It's down at the very bottom of the home page in the 'Free on iTunes' section.

Yes, and for some songs that are 1 minute, 12 seconds long, I can listen to the whole song! \:D/

Toby's studio is American. It does make sense, even if it is annoying. :shrugs:
