FANTASTIC. I think we MDN readers should go out and buy "I Touch Myself" by the Divinyls to celebrate. Since we all probably own an iPod Touch. hehe

" I think we MDN readers should go out and buy "I Touch Myself""

That would be funny to see if we could affect that song's rating among top songs by doing it.

I'd do it. It's only 99 cents. Good way to start of iTunes 5th anniversary. Then on the sixth, we an all purchase, "Another One Bites the Dust". To celebrate the closure of all those iTunes killer initiatives the labels foolish started.

Funny the number of music stores & players that have lived and died within 5 years.

Based on hardware units sold, I think "Harlem Shuffle", "Curly Shuffle", "Cupid Shuffle", "Lido Shuffle", "The E Street Shuffle" or even "Shuffle Off To Buffalo" would be better sellers.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
AS A GIFT WE WOULD LIKE:
MORE STORES WORLDWIDE
THNANK YOU APPLE

Um, unless you're a hobbit, you GIVE gifts when it's someone else's birthday.

Well, Johnny Otis is finally in the catalogue now. He was a long time getting there, too.

"Willie and the Hand Jive"! ! !

It would make a great ringtone.

I just wish I could get music from around the world in the American Store. I don't see why iTunes is not a one stop shop for all your music regardless of culture.

Agreed, dallas.

Maybe it's because Apple are arrogant Americans and don't think it's important?

Lee, you're in the UK right?

It's very easy to be critical of a culture from afar.

Come over here and you'll see good, bad and all sorts in between.
From what I hear of my home land it's become a country of yobs.
I try to see the good in both lands, although it is tricky sometimes.

And let's not forget, SJ is an American!

iTunes (the software) has been around longer, but I can't believe the iTunes Store has ONLY been around five years. If feels like the a lot LONGER.

Mac+ "MORE STORES WORLDWIDE
THNANK YOU APPLE"

First, that's an awesome way to spell "thank you" I'll have to remember that one. Second, I read that Apple planned to open 48 new stores in Calandar 2008 (They are already slightly over 200, so this will be about 25% increase).

Half of these will be stores outside the US, including the first in mainland China, Australia, and Switzerland.

In Belgium one still can't order TV shows and movies on iTunes.

I'd be perfectly happy with some TV shows that are available on the US iTunes Store (I appreciate the fact, though that for the general public a concerted

Why does it take so long to get those royalties sorted out? Why does one need to go through Belgian negociations to offer material whose author AND performers are in the US anyway?

Want iTunes Store in India.

1000 new Hindi films every year. 100 years of Film history. Avg 5 songs in one film. This is only in Hindi

Add 50 more regional films, would end up 10000 films in one year.

Apple we are waiting.....
