What a joke; People finally have a way to purchase music they enjoy and the money-grubbing artists don't like it. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cloudman4utoday]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 1st 2008 11:05AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iTunes Losing Favor Among Artists?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/09/01/itunes-losing-favor-among-artists/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/09/01/itunes-losing-favor-among-artists/</guid><description><![CDATA[<br>Until you see that Apple are going to REINVENT THE ALBUM....<br><br><br><a href="http://www.musicweek.com/story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=1035333&c=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.musicweek.com/story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=1035333&c=1</a><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jo T]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 1st 2008 12:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iTunes Losing Favor Among Artists?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/09/01/itunes-losing-favor-among-artists/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/09/01/itunes-losing-favor-among-artists/</guid><description><![CDATA[Greed and mediocrity killed the record business.

I mean, iTunes does have an album only feature but people (me included) hate it. The whole point of iTunes was to be able to buy the tracks that you like and not the whole album. I don't buy regular cds anymore, anyway. All the ones I have are in iTunes.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Emma]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 1st 2008 10:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iTunes Losing Favor Among Artists?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/09/01/itunes-losing-favor-among-artists/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/09/01/itunes-losing-favor-among-artists/</guid><description><![CDATA[The writer nailed it!  Each album now days only has 2 or 3 "good" songs worth listening to over and over.  Used to be you could lay in bed with your headphones on and listen to the newest LP over and over for days while reading the entire album cover inch for inch.  I you were really lucky, the album came in a double cover which opened up and you were in heaven with all the photos and words.  Now, it's a blessing if you can actually read the #4 font on the 5 x 5 inch CD cover.  C'mon you 21st Century music artist....put out some REAL work in choosing your music.  Most of you have been flacid in your attempts to put a real album together yet you still over-charge for the weak albums/music to support your "BLING!"  You're going to be a "Behind the Music" episode before to long if you remain greedy.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Souette]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 1st 2008 11:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iTunes Losing Favor Among Artists?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/09/01/itunes-losing-favor-among-artists/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/09/01/itunes-losing-favor-among-artists/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well, I guess it's a good thing that I don't listen to these bands and their so-called "music" anyway. When will these record companies learn to change with the times and technology? The bands should be happy that people who use iTunes are still PAYING for the songs when there are millions of people who illegally download entire albums with sites like Limewire. It's all about greed and especially coming from artists who have millions of dollars (has Metallica boycotted iTunes yet?). Most of these people make their money going on tour. It's been almost a year since I've purchased a cd and I don't plan on buying another one now that I can buy the music online and download it to my ipod.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brad]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 2nd 2008 12:19AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iTunes Losing Favor Among Artists?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/09/01/itunes-losing-favor-among-artists/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/09/01/itunes-losing-favor-among-artists/</guid><description><![CDATA[Fans of an artist will always want to buy and have their whole album where as casual listeners want to just have the popular tracks. iTunes is a great way for people like me to listen to new bands without having to drop $15 on an album. I guess these artists would rather make no money (boycotting iTunes or having their songs downloaded from file sharing sites) than some money. Now that they got most of the file sharing sites either out of business or legal it sounds like an attempted money grab. Sorry guys, I'll pass on your new "music" and listen to Tom Petty's Greatest Hits on my ipod. Jackasses!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[AnthonyT]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 2nd 2008 8:40AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
