Sadly this week’s show was not actually live, due to some serious server issues over at TalkShoe, so Stu, Lewis, Chris and Bart hopped on Skype to record the episode. It did feel weird not having our audience but we muddled through.
As you’ll hear we had some audio issues this week, Garageband crashed on me during the recording so we had to use one of the panel’s skype recordings!
Hope you enjoy the show, links for this episode can be found on our delicious tag

iTunes has surpassed itself in music sales with its 5 billionth song sold in the iTunes digital music store.
5 billionth song! If there are roughly 100 million iPods that 5,000,000,000 divided by 100,000,000 that is roughly 50 songs per iPod downloaded in the history of the iTunes library. The colossal number of songs was reached with the iTunes store serving up 8 million songs to your music plater for you to enjoy.
Also on the menu are 20,000 TV episodes, 2,000 movies (350 of which in the chef’s special high-definition sauce). Apple has shifted 50,000 of their movies per day in either rented or purchased form. These statistics are based on the US alone but in other countries I’m sure that “La Cordon iTunes” is dominating the online music market in a very similar way.
