Posted: 12/26/06 at 2:52pmI cannot imagine how many people have gotten iTunes cards for Christmas and are using them right now...is anyone else having a problem with not being able to purchase music? Or is it just me?

Yeah - cause bad management and rude employees don't factor into Towers demise at all.
Fabrizio - did you get on? I could not get in yesterday - but was able to purchase music this morning before I came to work.

So, in other words, legally purchasing music at amazon.com/iturnes is not a threat to actual record stores?
I don't give a crap if I'm pissing some people off or not with this issue lol

Back to normal - for now.
Apple Computer Inc.'s popular iTunes Music Store appeared to be back to normal Thursday, two days after shoppers wielding new iPods and gift cards faced error messages and long delays while trying to download songs.
Apple officials didn't return telephone calls Thursday and the company has not explained why some shoppers on Monday and Tuesday experienced 20-minute delays to download a song.
But Wall Street analysts said the delays were probably caused by music sales that dramatically exceeded the Cupertino-based company's own forecasts and resulted in too many people trying to access the site at once.
Four times as many people visited the iTunes on Christmas than at the same time last year, according to online market researcher Hitwise.
Apple commands about 75 percent of the market for downloaded music, but could lose as much as 5 percent of that market share in 2007 because of increased competition from rival services, according to Piper Jaffray.
