Apparently I need a fucking iTutorial because I can't figure out how to use the damned store. I hate the interface--after Rhapsody, it feels clunky and awkward--and I'm certain that even if I can't play the whole thing, there must be some way to play a snippet of the song before I purchase it. Of course, I can't sleep and I'm already in an amazingly surly mood from work and stress and sick and that plays into my already poor opinion of anything to do with the iLife Mafia. I'm not pleased with the new format of iTunes, either, and now there's a window in the bottom of my playlist (taking up real estate that I'd like to use for DISPLAYING MY MUSIC KTHX) inviting me to turn on the MiniStore so I can spend even more time wandering around the iTunes Music Store and I can't find any way to make this advertisment go away.
And I don't think they've got what I need to finish this project which I'm beginning to hate as well.
I do not have as much hate for the new LJ posting format that others seem to, but perhaps it's because I'm distracted and busy hating other things.
