Anybody Know What Percentage Of People Use iTunes (PC+Mac Combined)?

[coach]

Subject says it all. I know iPods are popular-ish, but do a lot of people use iTunes? Anybody have a link to the numbers?

Though I am not a fan of wikipedia, here you go:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes_Store

I'm guessing Henry is contemplating the transition to iTunes?

Transition? We've been selling through iTunes for over 2 years.

My boss saw the iTunes link on this myspace page and thought it was a cute idea. She said it makes you look "more professional", as if such a thing were possible on iTunes.

The issue is that it calls iTunes automatically. That is an interesting idea, but before I implement it, I want to make sure that a reasonable percentage of viewers will have it already installed.

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate myspace?

Also, I'm interested in your wikipedia comment. You're one of the first I've heard say they don't like it. Why is that? I am not a fan myself, but I thought I was a majority of 1.

Oops, sorry. Didn't know he was on itunes. ;D

I don't like wikipedia because it basically can be edited by anyone? A crackhead in jail using the computer in the prison library can edit it. I have no idea how accurate any of the crap is on there. I'm sure you've heard about the John Siegenthaler incident:

Oh, and as to the itunes link/banner, that's a good add-on that I think artists do utilize. I need to find the link on that.

I use iTunes. And I, too, am not that crazy about Wikipedia.

I once heard some crazy stat. Can't remember where, can't remember exactly what it was, but it was something like, "every 5 minutes a Wikipedia article gets discredited"... Regardless of how many minutes or seconds it takes, that's too much for me.

But on the upside, Wiki is open, allowing for things to be discredited. Any garden variety moron can create a Wiki article, and any other moron can discredit it, and any other moron can re-credit it.

Better than some weenies at Britannica who take eons to crank out an edition.
