So, you’re sitting in Starbucks, working on your iBook, admiring the girl in the Starbucks across the road (who is working on her iBook), and you turn off your iPod for just a minute, perhaps to answer your cell phone.
And, surprise of surprises, you find yourself toe-tapping to the public music swanking its way out of the coffee shop sound machine. Of course, Starbucks has the specialty CD on sale at the counter, but those shiny platters aren’t your scene.
Why can’t you just hit a button on your (wireless enabled) iPod, or your iBook, and just buy the currently playing tune (or the current CD, or playlist)?
This sort of on-the-spot buying may be the only way to get people to buy music anymore: tapping into that lovely moment when a certain song plays, and you realize the girl at the other Starbucks just smiled at you.
