摘要：This is a personal exploration of the online music service iTunes and some of its digital
and tangible competitors. It deals mainly with the up-to-dateness and variety of products
offered, in principal one of the key benefits of online music stores. The conclusion is, that
iTunes is not as good as it could or should be, and in this case the surprising winner is a local
branch of a big German media chain. These results are based on personal experiences. But a
comprehensive test, done by German consumer journal ¡°Test¡±, confirmed them quite well.
