Longer Samples on iTunes?
We all know that when we want to hear a sample from iTunes we only get the annoying 30 seconds, but now Apple has confirmed to change the 30 seconds to a whopping 90 seconds. That is only for the songs that are at least 2:30, but anything shorter will still have the old 30 seconds clip. Why the change? Apple feels that the sample of the song is an important part to whether or not someone is going to buy the song, so having a longer sample means that iTunes will have more sales from songs. Or at least they are hoping so... But how many of us honestly buy all of our music? Or do we steal it like everyone else in today's society? When was the last time you yourself bought a CD? Stealer.
