So it looks like iTunes is officially the biggest music retailer in the US now. I came across this on Podcasting News
today, after a week of browsing headlines about online music stores and potential online music stores (or social networks that sell music). This is pretty big news in my opinion, and really says a lot about how much the Internet has changed the world. I think back 10 years ago to my graduating year, with fond memories of cutting class to go fetch the latest from my favorite band. I remember picking eagerly at the shrink wrapping, carefully pulling out the liner notes so as not to rip them on the jewel case edges, and listening to CDs from start to finish. It seems so ancient now, but it’s not. That was just 1998. Who would have guessed back then that a computer company would be the number one music retailer?
