Apple’s new music store

This is really cool: a useful, well-implemented, legal, reasonably priced way to buy and download music. It supports mobile devices, CD burning, and lots of other stuff. At $0.99/song or $9.99/album, I’m planning on fleshing out my collection. bbum has some good technical details on how the system works. Windows users, eat your heart out. Wait… I’m a Windows user too. Curses! Cognitive dissonance!
Update: Actually, this might turn out to be a problem. I normally listen to my music in three ways: on my desktop Mac, on my Windows XP laptop, or in the car. The Mac and car are no problem, but music from the Apple Store is encoded with AAC, not MPEG-3. There’s no AAC codec for Windows, and apparently burning AAC to CD and re-ripping to MP3 produces crappy quality. This might be a problem, at least until Apple ships an AAC codec for Windows.
Update again: I’ve bought a half-dozen or so tracks from the store. The experience has been flawless so far, and it’s nice to be able to fill in some of the holes in my collection.
