An iTunes RFE

Posted on by

Dear iTunes Developers–

iTunes rocks. Here’s a RFE that I hope will make it rock more.

Go to the iTunes Music Store, click on any album. Below is a list of songs in that album. For each of those songs is a whole set of columns (album, genre, artist, etc.). For a few of those columns, there is a little arrow that, when you click on it, will take you directly to the iTunes Music Store listing for that artist/album/whatever.

Go to your music library, click Browse. Click on any album. Below is a list of songs in that album. For each of those songs is a whole set of colums–but no arrows. It would be tremendously helpful for organizing and navigating if there were arrows in the same columns as there are in the iTMS. Those arrows should take you directly to all the songs you own under that artist/album/genre/etc.

Additionally, it would be cool to right-click a song in my library and find the iTMS listing for the song’s artist/album/genre. This is a feature that, I think, would mean *real money* for the iTMS. There are several songs in my library that are illegitimate in the eyes of the RIAA. I’ve been periodically “legitimizing” them by going to the Music Store and purchasing them. Such a feature would make this process easier. It also might encourage me to buy more music by my favorite artists.

Oh, and please support Windows 98. I want to buy my wife an iPod someday, but I don’t want to shell out $100 to Microsoft for a new operating system.

Thanks for making music fun. :)
