iTunes Store 4+

I think it is fantastic that Apple stil continue to honour their commitment to iTunes, even on the iPhone / iPad / Mac even though they plug the Apple Music like crazy, that I originally subscribed to on Microsoft PC and still use as my main storage resource.

Why would I want to pay £9.99 a month to play my own music collection? The fact that there are umpteen million tracks in the Apple collection is irrelevant to me, when all I want to do us to play the ones I’ve purchased from iTunes or those from my own personal collection stored on there.

Sometimes, weeks may pass when I am unable to find the time to listen to my own iTunes collection or I may be listening to radio instead. So paying out £9.99 a month would be a total waste of money!

When I remember a particular song or piece of music (why does Apple call them all songs?) that I either never purchased, lost or damaged, I’m very happy to pay £0.49 / £0.79 / £0.99 to download it to add to my collection, even though I’ll never actually really own it!

It’s a gift from heaven above we finally get Problematique! Even if it’s not the original intended track list we do have the majority of the major debut from Kim officially and I couldn’t be happier. Every song is a sublime, incredible work of pop music art. Each song is forever memorable. With its addictive French house and tropical pop beats the album has it all. All She Wants with Paris Hilton is probably one of the greatest pop duets of all time. Deeper and Somthing About You are utterly beautiful euphoric anthems. Confession is a dance floor banger as is the French accordion hook in Love Ya Leave Ya! The album is perfection from beginning to end!.

I’ve loved this app since I was first introduced. The only problems I seem to have are that a) I initially had uploaded a battery of music to it and used it as storage. Those songs, not purchased from Apple, disappeared from my device and later, my iTunes. Customer services said I could only have this resolved if I provided proof of purchase of all those songs so I had to kiss goodbye to that! Then b) it seems like if I don’t listen to a song for a while, it disappears from my device until I re-download it. Other than that, I’ve always found it to be a brilliant app.
