A lot of speculation running wild that a Video iPod is coming soon, and Forbes Magazine jumps right in. The interesting bit is bolded by me:
Some of the top music labels say they’ve been contacted by Apple about the prospects of selling music videos on iTunes – probably ahead of a fall debut of a color-screen Apple full-motion video iPod. The labels ought to be jumping for joy. (full story)
I will never buy a music video. EVER. I swear this to you. A DVD compilation of many music videos? Sure. But one video at a time? No no no no.
What about you, fine reader? Talk back in the comments.
i can see it happening someday. the writing’s been on the wall for a while now – it’s all going to come down the pipe soon enough. i’m sure there’s a price point in the next n years that will seem palatable to rent yourself a stupidly-DRM-encrusted music video.
hey as long as i’m here – just finally listened to the celebrity pilots tracks you posted, uh, n years ago. thumbs up and stuff.
Pay for a single music video? Never. Pay for a collection of great videos, maybe.
First off my first post on here.
OK, no way in hell will i pay to watch a commercial… i mean video. Seriously who the hell would pay for that?

I’m not trying to be contrarian, but this would make me want an Ipod and I sure as hell would buy videos. One thing I can say with certainty is that I will NEVER buy songs one at a time. I don’t understand why y’all are against buying videos. As it stands today, You can’t see a video that you like whenever you want, unless it’s on Icontrol Music on cable. I would love to be able to own a copy of a video and watch it when I want. Buying one song at a time, on the other hand, when you can simply burn the CD, rip it to PC and load it into a digital music player makes absolutely no sense to me.
I agree with schmoopatties
Well, I poo poo on buying videos because they suck. Now if they make some live videos availible like the ones MTV of old used to show, I might reconsider.
