Anyone with an iPod probably enjoys listening to it on random from time to time, or maybe even all the time. If nothing else, it removes all that worry that having to actually choose tracks causes. But even a top of the range 60Gb version only holds around 15000 songs. This is quite a lot less that the million (ish) available from the iTunes music store. I had an idea.
To download a tune normally costs 79p. Wouldn't it be cool, if for say 20p, you could get iTunes to download you a completely random song? The odds of it being one you already own are pretty low, probably a lot less than 1% for most people. You'd have no idea what you were going to get - rock, hip-hop, jazz, opera, jazz-hip-hop-rock-opera, anything!
It'd be like putting your money into one of those little toy dispensers where you get a little toy in a plastic ball. But with tunes.
And maybe every thousandth random download could be special - a whole album or something.
Apple, if you're listening, you know this is a great idea. Feel free to implement it and maybe give me 1p from each random download. Sound cool? Apple? Hello???
