Hehe, I wouldn't mind winning one of those iTunes cards. And yeah, I can definitely see how this promotion is boosting the number of downloads. Wow, that counter's really flying!

I wish I had the stupidity to let me buy music downloads.. I'd rather get MP3's off limewire, or better yet, just go to best buy and get the CD, then put it on my iPod through my PC... But I'm sure iTunes is making tons of cash with that promotion.

Yeah. One billion songs at a buck each ... before taxes, licensing/royalties, operating expenses etc. of course.

I'd say that they made tons of cash, yeah. Even though a lot of people (like me) just use the free codes that we find in various places, there were (and are) still quite a few more people who will gladly pay a buck per song.

I would too, if I had a few extra bucks *grins*
