Here We Are not currently included at iTunes

backbeat · Post by **backbeat** » October 10, 2006 11:33 am

I just bought TTWWY on iTunes and there is no version of Here We Are at all - video or audio. There is the video of PATEOTW which - since you can only get it if you buy the whole album - is used as an iTunes incentive. If anybody finds Here We Are - song or video - at iTunes, please post here. Maybe the song Here We Are is only available on the CD as an incentive for CD sales. I think it should have been a regular song on the CD, myself, even though I've heard that the video and the song together is pretty cool. As it is, anyone purchasing via iTunes (or other online download services?) will not hear the song at all. So, now - after having bought the record (on iTunes), I have to buy the record (on CD). Pretty lame.

updated by backbeat: In that case, I'll need a different smilie.

thanks, jim, that feels a lot better.

Lame? That sounds like another word for good marketing strategy.

After CMT let everyone "listen" to the entire CD, with no talking over the music, the only reason to buy the CD is for the Here We Are video. And the liner notes? They can be found right here at BN!

Now, if I buy the CD, but wanted the PATEOTW video, I have to buy the iTunes version as well? You're right. That is lame!

I disagree... The audio quality of that CMT stream was horrendous. Even itunes can't compete with cd-quality audio.

Really? The stuff I listened to said was it coming in at 128K, and it sounded like it - that's way better than RM.com can do. I am just guessing that the iTunes are 128K too.

I'm no audiophile, but I can tell the difference between 128k WMA and a lossless track ripped from a cd. It's a little harder with itunes' 128k AACs, but there is a difference, at least to my ears.

Don't want to get too far off the topic, but I'm like you in that I too "can tell the difference between 128k WMA and a lossless track ripped from a cd". I guess what I was thinking, but maybe didn't make clear, is that those people that buy iTunes either can't hear that particular difference, or don't care about it.

The video and audio together are very cool, but I, too, would have liked to have an audio "Here We Are" on the CD. A song like this shouldn't risk being lost in the fog...

I don't have the cd yet (will get on the way home), but I already know that I agree with ya on this... all summer long I've been looking forward to getting a nice clean copy on the new cd.

I'm not technologically advanced to have a clue what gbm and sol are talking about above, or the peeps in the other thread talking about how they're ripping and burning it to mp3 or whatever.

It seriously bugs me that you have to buy the entire album twice to get both videos. That just bugs the crap out of me.....

I don't mind paying for the PATEOTW video on iTunes. I wouldn't even mind at all paying the standard $1.99 video price (as opposed to songs at $0.99). But to have to buy the whole album? Grrrr.....

I have to agree with that sentiment as well!

STOP THE PRESSES!!!

A little birdie just whispered through my hermetically sealed window that if we'll just be a little patient (us? patient??

), the Here We Are video will be available on iTunes soon!

Ok....now what about the PATEOTW Video for those of us who bought the CD?

Any chance of that being available in the future for pholks who don't buy the entire album.

I don't have a video iPod and with my prehistoric dialup connection I can't even download the upgrade for iTunes so I can't buy anything.

I don't have a video iPod either. I just watch the few videos I've purchased on my computer

Give me about a half an hour and I will have it on Google Video.

You know, if you go to Google Video, and click on the Upload link, you get this:
