Well, its been a while since I've done this (v1, v2, v3) and a lot has changed. The iTMS has been open for over a year and has been open to windows for almost 8 months now. Close to 5 million songs were given away with Pepsi and other promotions and two songs were given away every week for the past month (and will continue indefinitely...)

It will open to most of Europe in about a week, Canada and Australia not too soon after...

So far I have purchased $83.63; 512.6MB; 131 songs; 8 hours, 23 minutes, and 37 seconds of downloaded music... (that includes free songs... which come out to about two/fifths of the total)

How to get your total purchase amount: go to your iTunes account page by clicking on your email address in the top right hand corner of the iTMS. You will be prompted for your password and your account page will pop up... There should be a "purchase history" button and the resulting page will list all of your iTMS purchases... you should be able to eyeball it from there but you could be anal like I am and use Calculator.app to add up all the totals .

How much have you spent?

I'll try to keep a running tally as people post the exact amounts...

$100.70

what I've gotten thusfar:

I've spent around $20. I bought a Album, and a few singles. I have also downloaded every free song they offered.

Poisoned? Don't use that much anymore. I am sifting through gigabytes of (legally) downloaded music from MP3.com.

^^ One more quality post from the desk of Ebby. ^^

"The iTMS is not available to me. $0"

It's gonna be very interesting to see what the iTMS does to my spending habits. I've never been in to buying CDs because I always found them too expensive/to much hassle to get/listened to the radio instead/borrowed CDs from other people. I currently have 3444 songs in my iTunes Library and the songs that I actually own on CD can't make up more than 500 songs of that -- the rest is from borrowed CDs.

However, since I've had access to free broadband at university, I've been visiting the iTMS regularly, using it as a database, d/l the music videos, listening to 30-sec clips etc (The iTMS doesn't stream videos/trailers to your computer, rather it d/l them to a hidden temp file on your computer, deleting them when you leave the video page. Just do a command-F search of hidden folders for QuickTimeTempPlugin, IIRC.)

If I stay at my brothers' this summer (brothers=cable+broadband ), I might be very tempted to spend far too much money. Oh dear... Well, I've got at least ten years of music purchasing to catch up on I spose. Ahh.... the first stage is self-justification...

the path is
Code:
/private/tmp/501/TemporaryItems/
I have an alias to this folder on my desktop all you have to do is move and rename the files...
(the # 501 is your user's ID number from the NetInfo Directory... if you are the only user on your account it is 501, but it may be something else)

I even keep those music videos organized in iTunes also, I just have to hit CMD-R to open it in quicktime... I suppose I could make an applescript to do the same...

I pretty much get all my new music from iTMS, I've only been to a record store twice since I started using iTMS. So...too much.

I use it way too much.

I've got 420 :smokey: purchased songs. Almost all of those are in the form of albums and I am too lazy to add up all I've spent. But I've slowed down a lot recently. My last paid purchase was the beginning of April.

I need to edit my vote. I've bought 112 songs. That's just over $100. Jeez. I had no idea... (well, in my defense, I DID get a $40 g.c. for my birthday)

59 tracks and counting... have a few Glen Miller classics and a couple Rush albums in the queue. Maybe I'll clear out my cart with a purchase in a couple months. Too pinched for money right now to buy music. Not to mention, salavating over the possibility of a new 23" ACD.

Yes, they're called Dittoettes. Oh wait, you mean...



As for the iTMS, I've spent about $50 in one year. Not too bad. I think I've given away twice that in certificates and gifts to friends.
