iTunes Music Store sells 3.3 million songs in one week
iTunes sets new sales record
âOur third generation iTunes Music Store just blows away any other online music service,â said Steve Jobs, Appleâs CEO. âWith over 700,000 songs and innovative features like iMix, itâs the easiest to use and most fun to use online music store in the world.â
Dirty 'Tunes?
Meanwhile, it appears that Apple has rejected its first "dirty" iMix.
The company reportedly refused to publish an AppleInsider reader's compilation "One to Tango: Songs with a Masturbation Theme" citing "poor taste". Ironically, each of the songs listed in the iMix are available for download from the iTunes music store as individual files.
Shortly after attempting to publish his iMix, the reader received an iTunes misuse warning from the company via email, stating that his mix was in violation of the iTunes Music Store terms of service, section 9e.
"The iMix that you have submitted will not be posted to the iTunes Music Store. Content in the iMix title and/or description is in violation of the iTunes Music Store Terms and Service." the letter reads, in part. "You agree that any use by you of such features shall be your sole responsibility, shall not infringe or violate the right of any other, contribute to or encourage unlawful conduct, or otherwise be obscene, objectionable or in poor taste."
It appears that Apple has also refused to perform a number of questionable iPod engravings.
