I still haven’t gotten around to buying anything from the new Apple Music Store, but I’m intrigued by the execution… heavy integration as a web service into the iTunes music player. Very nice job.

I did browse around, though, and noticed that a couple of the disks I just bought on Saturday were available, and were cheaper than what I paid at Best Buy.

I’m curious about one point. I’ve got three macs at the house that I’d like to share music around with (no problem so far). But, one of my next purchases is likely going to be a series 2 TiVo, with the home media option. This would allow me to stream music from one of the macs (the iMac, most likely) to the TiVo to play anything from my entire collection on the stereo in the living room. With MP3s that I’ve ripped from my CDs, all is well, but the TiVo currently doesn’t know what AAC is. I’m hoping TiVo will upgrade their software to take this into account, but how will that fit with my “3 macs only” thing?

Since the music is supposedly streamed, it shouldn’t matter. If I was to copy the AAC file to the TiVo, I could see the 3 machine limit coming into play. Hey–I wonder if I’ll be able to buy stuff from the Apple Music Store on my TiVo? Since it’s a web service and they’re porting iTunes to Windows by the end of the year, would it be such a stretch to thing that wouldn’t happen?

This could be very cool… I just hope they continue to keep the customer in mind, not the record companies… So far they’ve done a pretty good job.
