Yeah. Anime soundtracks. THAT is something that iTMS should focus on. Goodness knows nobody would buy those Kelly Clarkson songs if they could lay their hands on thoze kewl anime tunez.


As for Mr. Monk, try searching for "Monk".

    1. I said "I admit my tastes are atypical..." I'm not looking for what the mainstream wants, nor do I think many others share my interests - the point of this section is to explain why 400,000 mainstream titles doesn't necessarily cut it, and why the worldwide-compatibility of CD's is an asset the ITMS lacks. I suspect you listen to something <strike>better</strike> different than Limp Bizkit too. Or maybe not.
    2. I also said "my music store experience is usually something along the lines of...", not that this is the actual result of a search. It's called exaggeration for comic effect.

      I understand taste out of the mainstream (Uli Jon Roth, anybody?) but Apple had to start someplace and when you're starting out, Kelly Clarkson makes sense (full disclosure: I don't own any Kelly Clarkson but she has a heck of a voice). With indie artists flooding into the store these days (check out the "Just Added" section for this week), the ball is really out of Apple's court and in the labels'. At this point, if anime soundtracks aren't in the iTMS, it's the fault of the labels and not Apple.
