The Convenience of Buying Music Through the Internet with iTunes
Its really interesting how convenient it has become to find and gain access to things that easily enjoyed. Take music, for instance. Music is the quite possibly the most inexpensive but certainly not at all the worst thing anyone can give or receive from anyone, be it as a present, a reminder, a message or an expression of the self to another.
Only two decades ago, if one liked a specific song, one had to buy the entire cassette or CD the song is included in. The World Wide Web had yet to become popular and an instrument of the masses to gain immediate access to all sorts of information, so it was next to impossible to get background on the myriad kinds of music and the various musicians producing them in various genres. Short of subscribing to all the music magazines, one was forced to rely mostly on tv programs devoted to latest pop offerings or shows like VH-1 and MTV.
After gaining sufficient info on available music and the details of albums and songs, only then would one go to the music stores and make an intelligent purchase. Then one had to go skip forward through the album to be able to play and listen to the song one had been really, really looking forward to hearing and singing along to (and then repeating for an endless number of times). It’s just plain terrible and unfortunate if it happened that the one song was the only thing worth listening to in the entire album because of the expense of having to buy the said album just for it; but it was a risk one had to take.
Now, its easy to select single, individual songs from whole albums and purchase that one single song and exclude the rest! It’s no longer necessary to scrimp and save just to be able to buy a CD if one only had enough funds for a few songs. And thanks to the internet, it’s now easier to listen to snatches and snippets of ones favorite song, or even the whole song itself because of various site providing videos. Technology has greatly revolutionized how people listen to music, and its now much, much easier to buy music for enjoyment, not to mention cheaper.
More convenient because there are now such things as the Itunes store and the Itunes card which can be given away as gifts to iPod-toting friends and family members. It’s easy to purchase an online itunes gift card and easier still to give away because after all, who doesn’t want to receive one? And cheaper because, well, it certainly doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. It still makes for an impressive gift because it implies that the giver is in with the times, and knows what cool and hip when it comes to music-slash-technology.
