Apple Sells 1 Million Songs

Apple sold 1 million songs through AppleMusic last week, becoming the largest online music distributor. Amazing if you think about it: this is only Mac OS X users with the latest software. Not older Mac OS X users, no OS 9 users and only the North America market. No international users and, as of yet, no PC/Windows/Linux users. So Apple becomes the biggest digital music source using only a portion of their 5% market share... I think you can see where this has the potential to go. Apple stock is currently around $14-15/share.
By the way, for all the Apple doom-and-gloom watchers out there that claim Apple will disappear with only a 5% market share, do some research and find out how much market share BMW has of the automotive market, ok? Thanks. And for those of you who love your Wi-Fi (wireless) connections, let's remember how that came to be, eh?

wow.. and the rest of the music industriy has been trying to kill online music.. and they wonder why their sales are plummeting... hmmmm could it be that people don't have access to the music anymore... or that they are so over charging for a CD... go apple.. take over the music world for us as well.. make it a better product like everything else you touch...
