    You gotta use OmniWeb and set the browser recognition thingy to Windows IE. Then you can still access the crapfest. The search engine works now, so it's easier to find out how limited their selection actually is.

    I wonder if Scott Blum is going to issue a press release soon expounding the phenomenal success of his site.



    Really, I'd actually like to know. I predict a grand total of 15,000-20,000 so far.

    This is yoinked from a Spymac thread. It features Scott Blum on techTV or some such discussing RentMusic.com.



    (Right-click the linky or severe gibberish may occur)

    This guy is such a freaking mook.



    The entire interview is available on the second page of the thread for your downloading pleasure. Although, the rest of the interview isn't nearly as idiotic.

    Hmm, nice idea, but I'm not so sure about the Nazi stuff...



    It'd be kind of cool if, when people loaded into that, it debunked everything BuyMusic was trying to pull over peoples' eyes authoratitively - otherwise, people will just say "Oh, whiny Mac users."

    I dare anyone to find anything beside Tommy Lees "Hold Me" that costs 0.79.

    Yeah, some of it isn't right, but for the most part it was amusing.... not that I'm saying amusing == effective.

    the nimrods at buymusic forgot one thing... if they're not careful, they'll send buyers TO apple, not away from them.



    Already happened with me. I'm a channel surfer so I only saw the middle of the "Rapper's Delight" ad and just assumed because of the white background and person singing with headphones on, it was an Apple commercial. I wonder how many other people will mistake the ad. I guessing a whooole bunch.

    CONSPIRACY ALERT.



    BuyMusic is something Apple set up as a showcase of how impossible it is to make something as good as iTMS. Soon BuyMusic.com will guide you to WiTMS.
