Thanks Apple…if I download 100,000 songs I might win an ipod. Wow what a deal. Gotta love marketing.
I wonder if you tilt your screen at a certain angle that will increase the chances of winning?

A 17 inch powerbook, 40 gig iPod, and a 10K gift certificate? Lucky bastard…

I hope you are joking.
Someone needs to edit the text on the site. I believe it means for each batch of 100,000s til the 100 million song, the person who purchases song number 100,000 would win an iPod. But the kicker in terms of site info is the bottom which reads no purchase necessary. Ha. How can you be the 100,000th purchaser or the person who purchase the 100 million song without making a purchase. That said, I’m going to start spreading my purchases out. Baby wants a new PowerBook.
Damn, they’ve sold over 103,000 songs since 9am ET this morning! Pretty good for just over 4 hours time. At this rate, the 100 Millionth song will be purchased on the afternoon of July 10th.
re: allgood2
Perhaps “buying” the free download of the week would qualify as an entry?
rob, good point. think the rate will increase as the west coast catches up?
Anyone have an estimate on how long it would take to download the whole itms? Would you still have to pay tax?
Does anyone know what number the countdown started at?? The lowest figure I heard was 94,767,325, but that was posted hours after the announcement. I’m just trying to see if they actually sold about 1 million songs yesterday.
LOL Dennis, I hope *you* are joking…
