Anyone have allofmp3 vouchers?

First off, you'll find no love for that site on these boards.

Second, give it time.  There are plenty of people that don't even have their favorite artists on iTMS yet, let alone in the DRM free section.

Rant room?

That last part was a joke... I wouldn't use these forums to find stuff like that.

I am disappointed with iTunes though. And I'm sure I'm not going to be the only one. Not Apple's fault I know... Rage against the RIAA only growing.

I think patience will be rewarded in this case.  I'm hoping a year will make a dramatic difference.

Yeah, I would say getting your panties in a wad over what goes up the first day is a wee bit premature (or immature, take your pick).

1.  Is there a way to upgrade only some of my previously purchased songs to iTunes plus?  There are some songs that I've purchased in the past that weren't for me and I have no use to redownload them again.  I was half hoping for a moment apple would check just the m4ps in your library.. but they check your history.

2.  when I decided I'd rather not care about those few, i opted to upgrade, only to get this message "The item you tried to buy is no longer available.  the availability of the item changed while you were using the store.  the same item may be available with a different price or elsewhere on the store"  well. they won't let me change the list so as to not include this item and now I cannot buy any of them.

iTunes 7.2.1 on friday!!!

I am not finding a way to upgrade only those that i Want to upgrade.  Apple is giving me the "All or none"

And even if they did I'd half way expect EMI to phase in the catalog a chunk at a time.

As I recall, EMI announced that their entire catalog was fair game.

Maybe they aren't all encoded yet. Beats me.

Glad to see I'm not the only one underwhelmed.

and PARIAH: Why release a service if it DOESN'T work? What other services exist that are released but do not work the first day? And how many of them get slammed for being an unfinished product?

I love my Powerbook, my Cinema Display, My iPods (including a 1st Gen), and my AppleTV. All are great products "right out of the box".

iTunes Plus doesn't seem so great "right out of the box".

Just looking for that insanely great experience that I'm used to.

If an "insanely great" experience is what you're after, I would definitely suggest that you do NOT purchase an iPhone.  Apple is going to learn a valuable lesson about having to rely on crappy third party "service" for their products.

Nah.... A phone that has 100% compatibility with my Mac? I've been wanting that for a long time!

I knew I was going to buy an iPhone the day it was announced! I'm even breaking my contract with T-Mobile. Great customer service by the way, but no phone that is Mac friendly. I have a Pearl but Pocket Mac doesn't work exactly the way I'd like. T-Mobile choices are Blackberry's, Sidekicks (NOT Mac compatible), and Windows Mobile.

I'll get the iPhone the minute the AT&T store opens.

Besides... I bought an iPod right away and I remember the whole argument that it was too expensive at the time.

But I digress... iPhone and iTunes Plus are two different products.

I still say iTunes Plus is an incomplete product. Apple should have had all of EMI ready to go and should be working on Indie labels now.

I'm sure Apple has all the albums in Apple Lossless... why not add all the EMI artists to a playlist and import them to 256 AAC... Apple could have the entire library done within a few days.

I would give the whole thing time.  Just like how some albums come out as Album only, then later they are released as individual songs, and how the entire iTunes catalog grew over time (such as an artist would be available, but not all albums).
