iTMS 2

Bill Bumgarner notes that you can now drag tracks out of the store to get URLs to them. I’d still like the store to support higher bitrate downloads, more selection, and user reviews and lists. There are so many partial albums, and albums that just plain aren’t there. Case in point: Bill says that Tori Amos is “well represented in the store,” though it stocks complete versions of less than half of her albums (albeit including the better ones). Scarlet’s Walk is $13.99 at both iTMS and Amazon, but with Amazon I would get higher quality, an actual CD, and liner notes. (Buying Scarlet’s Walk and Little Earthquakes costs $23.98 at iTMS and $24.98 at Amazon, but I already have Little Earthquakes.) I really want to like iTMS, but I don’t think it’s there yet.
