Zorn quotes me Sep20 '03

Yesterday Eric Zorn quoted me in his Chicago Tribune web log, in regards to iTunes vs. BuyMusic.com.

Park Ridge–based blogger Matt Thommes explains why "BuyMusic.com is a great idea, not only for music listeners, but for the entire record industry. However, it was poorly planned and executed. They will never be an iTunes, and I will never use anything but iTunes."

Not until I saw this quote on someone else’s site did I realize how much of a Mac fanatic I am. My fervor shines through. But most people just call me a dork, which is fine, because I’m used to that.

It is true, though. Unless some really amazing music distribution service hits the market, iTunes will always be number one in my mind. And it’s only getting better. Someday all music will be bought and sold on computers. We can then say goodbye to the heavy, burdensome compact disc. Yes, there is some sarcasm in there.

But once all music goes the way of computers, I may need to get one of these. Every day I want this more and more.
