As for the choosing of singles, whoever came up with 'Sliding' and 'Love in Veins' needs a good Mark E. Smith style slap. "...But they sound great on the radio..." -- Surely the best songs on the album would sound greater still on the radio ?

I think that's probably the most radio friendly song. Of course, the stupid radio stations probably still wouldn't play Mac on this side of the ocean. > > Have to agree with you...

I have noticed all sorts of factual errors, misspelled names etc. in these reviews and things. I don't see how they expect anyone to trust their opinions if they can't get their facts straight even on simple matters.

Apple launched iTunes in the US two weeks ago. It has got off to a strong start with more than 1m songs downloaded in its first week. Apple and its chief executive Steve Jobs now want to show it can solve the problems facing record companies in Europe too. The secret of Mr Jobs' success is partly to do with Apple's cachet, its reputation for good design and for championing consumers rather than corporations. It is also to do with the simplicity of the transaction. Songs cost 99 cents to download, and the company has developed software that allows users to "burn" an unlimited number of tracks on to a CD or transfer them to the Apple iPod portable music player. A list of this week's leading downloads through iTunes in the US suggests British record company EMI could profit from the system. Two of its acts - Coldplay and Norah Jones - are among the most popular. At present the service is only available to owners of Apple computers but the company is planning a Windows version for PCs before the end of the year. Record industry insiders said they were impressed by the early success of iTunes but cautioned that launching in Europe would not be easy. They said that, with many artists signed to different labels in different countries, rights agreements would take time to secure. However, the success of the iTunes store is expected to convince those leading artists who have yet to license their music for use on the web - including the Beatles and the Rolling Stones - to look again at the idea. Mr Jobs, a big fan of the Eagles, intervened personally in order to get the veteran Hotel California rockers to change their minds about music on the web. Given the growing enthusi asm of record labels for the concept of paid-for downloads, as shown by EMI's recent decision to make more than 90% of its catalogue available on the web, the service could launch in Europe by the autumn. "Hitting 1m songs in less than a week was totally unexpected," said Warner Music chairman Roger Ames recently. "Apple has shown music fans, artists and the music industry as a whole that there really is a successful and easy way of legally distributing music over the internet," he said.
