New iTunes

Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody appeared on the iTunes Music Store today. I'd been waiting for it for a while now, so I had to buy it immediately. (A version from "Live Magic" has been available for weeks, but it isn't nearly as good as this one.)

That continues the song-buying spree I've been on lately. In the past week I've bought Sarah McLachlan's "Mirrorball" (my first Sarah McLachlan album, and certainly not my last), Don McLean's "The Best of Don McLean" (just for "American Pie"; I don't really like the rest of the album), and a bunch of singles:

• "Einstein on the Beach (For an Eggman)" by Counting Crows
• "Spark" by Tori Amos
• "Running on Empty", "Stay", and "Doctor My Eyes" by Jackson Browne

I think I felt bad about having fewer than a thousand songs in iTunes or something like that, so I'm trying to make up for it. I'm only up to 935 now, so I guess I have a lot of shopping to do.

The thing is, that's only 4.3 GB of music. How on earth does anyone fill a 40 GB iPod? Better yet, how do they pay for that much music?
