http://theappleblog.com/2007/09/14/thank-you-tab-sponsors/#comments - Apple, lay off the ringtones a bit
Putting aside my general feelings about how annoyed I am by the constant noise of ringtones in any public place, Apple is obviously free to offer any type of product they want.
What does it in for me, however, is that Apple is pushing their ringtone product at me when I don’t even own an iPhone.
In the iTunes store for every album that has any ringtones available for its songs it shows the little bell next to the songs I could purchase as a ringtone as well as an entire section in the sidebar dedicated to ringtones.
You could call it cross selling/marketing but I call it overcrowding and unnecessary. It wastes valuable screen space pushing a product I have absolutely no possible way of even using.
Maybe Apple is doing it in the hopes that some poor soul without an iPhone will accidentally purchase it thinking they can use it or maybe the marketing guru’s think a few 30 second loops of a song will make me buy an iPhone. I’m not sure. I am sure that I’d like a Preference option to turn off any and all traces of ringtones in the store though.
If they’re really looking to cross sell some things, maybe a more useful feature would be suggesting the movies and TV shows that certain songs by that artist include.

http://theappleblog.com/2007/09/13/apple-lay-off-the-ringtones-a-bit/#comments - iTunes Store downloads unresponsive for almost 48 hours
For many users (myself included), downloading purchased songs from the iTunes store has been next to impossible.
This seems to be a widespread issue as well. Covering multiple countries such as the U.S., Germany, Canada, Sweden, and others, there are people who haven’t been able to download purchased songs for as long as 48 hours in some cases.
What seems to be happening is users place songs/albums in their cart and when they click to buy the items the store throws an error and clears the user’s cart of any songs. It turns out the songs have been purchased but just won’t download.
Apple’s typical response has been to do Store > Check for Purchases… to download the missing songs, but seems no one has had any luck with that.
The error that we troubled users have grown to love is simply:
Have you experienced these issues? Have you been able to get a non-canned response from Apple on the issue?
UPDATE: After over 24 hours (for me, personally) I am now able to download my purchased items from the iTunes store. I never received any sort of real explanation or even any status update saying anything was fixed. I just tried downloading them again and lucked out. Maybe they’ve got things back in working order.
