Wot I Bot on iTunes Tidday

Good HEAVENS the iTunes store is not intuitive at all. I hate it. I muddled through and bought a bunch of stuff with the iTunes gift cards my sister gave me for Christmas. Here is wawt I bawt and, of course, why.

What don't you find intuitive? I think it's pretty straightforward.

The following, among other things, messed me up repeatedly:

• You can't search for anything unless you're logged in. Frahfreh?
• The search box is not within the iTunes store windows, its on the frame of the iTunes application.
• You have to enter gift card codes before you attempt to buy anything, so there are "credits" in your account, otherwise they automatically charge your credit card. Would it be so hard to allow the option of entering gift card codes during checkout? Is one-click checkout that cool & in-demand?

I am old and slow these days and I cannot figure these things out. There was more stuff too, like the forward/back buttons. One set on the iTunes application, one set in the iTunes store. TOO MUCHMANY.

It really wasn't a pleasant experience. I was kind of surprised about that.

1. I guess I've always been logged in.
2. Well, yeah.
3. They've been pushing the one-click for a while.
4. I'm sorry you had a bad experience.

Yeah, breathing is a big thing with Love Story. That girl must have doble-size lungs or something. There's also a cute duet ("Lucky") with Colbie Caillat and Jason Mraz that I want to do, but no one we sing with seems to know it. Oh, and they might not have it yet for karaoke. :)

They have it; I saw it listed on the pages of new stuff in the front of The Book. ;-)

Oh, I missed that! I guess I was just too excited that they had "My Life Would Suck Without You!"
