iTunes and American Idol

I am a huge fan of American Idol. Since Season 2, I’ve bought the compilation CD and many of the CDs the finalists have produced.

So this year, I was bugged that AI wasn’t releasing a compilation. How dare they? I wanted my favorites and I wanted them now!

And today, that’s exactly what I got. I celebrated a birthday two weeks ago and my husband bought me an iPod. Today I learned to download music, and I hit the American Idol website first thing, and I’m here to tell you, this is better than any compilation CD.

Not only can I have studio versions of the songs I loved, but I can pick and choose which artists I want—Sorry, Sanjaya. I skipped your tracks.—and I can have more than one song by the performers I most like.

Next stop, iTunes. Welcome to the world of technology!

Oh, LuAnn--I lost my MP3 and have been in a quandary for months about what to do. Do I get the same one I used to have (i.e. know how to use) or do I get an Ipod like everyone else in the world? You give me confidence that perhaps I can do the unthinkable and learn a new trick.

Josi,
I'm still learning myself, but it's been fun so far! Yesterday I learned how to rip a CD. Now, that sounds pleasant, doesn't it?
