8K iTunes Downloads a Month?

What's the cost of downloading 8000 songs a month from iTunes?

One fiancée.

When an Entertainment Weekly blogger asked readers to write in about their most embarrassing DVD purchase, one gal wrote,

I used to wonder how my husband-to-be had more than 700 music CDs and more than 300 movie DVDs and hundreds and hundreds of record albums until I discovered that he had $43,000 in credit-card debt. In looking at his last bill (for one month) he had charged more than 8,000 iTunes at 99 cents each and had charges at places that sell music and movies, too. This guy made $45,000 a year. Called off the wedding.

Yikes!

Now, I don't want you to rack up such a bill yourself. But you should check out Hillcrest Bold Gold (Volume 1) at iTunes. It gives you a chance get more familiar with the worship music in the Bold service and enjoy it throughout the week. By clicking on the hyperlink, you will find contemporary recording artists singing ten songs that our Hillcrest Praise Band leads us to sing. If you don't have iTunes on your computer, when you click Hillcrest Bold Gold (Volume 1), you will be directed to download your free copy of iTunes. Once you have the program on your computer, you can listen to 30-second clips of the 10 songs in the iMix. You can then choose to download the entire mix for $9.90 or select individual songs from the mix for $.99 each. You don't need an iPod to enjoy songs downloaded on iTunes. Even without an iPod, you can listen to the songs on your computer, or you can burn audio CDs from iTunes if you have a CD burner connected to your computer.

We'll create a "Hillcrest Bold Gold (Volume 2)" iMix in a few weeks. Send me your suggestions about what you want on it. Also, turn in your suggestions for "Volume 2"--coming soon!
