Big Step

The iTunes Music Store added a ton of albums this week, including music from Rounder Records, the first independent label on iTMS, far as I can tell. No Alison Krauss yet, but iTMS isn't designed for music you care enough to buy on CD, anyway. Now if they add SubPop that'll pretty much cover it for me. More important than new labels is a version of iTunes for Windows, which is rumored for October, but Apple rumors just aren't as reliable as they used to be.

Joining the party a day late, as is their wont, Dell introduced an MP3 player and a downloadable music service. Well, it'll be cheap, anyway.
