Late LATE! +1 month. Bad Amy! xD Trully forgive for all the lateness this month, but I’ve gone through a few dozen of albums… from new listenings to re-listening xD From oldies, to not-so-oldies to new music after the break!

I do… I do like digital downloads, but can’t figured out WHY an eBook is as expensive as buying a book. Also, can’t understand why digital films are as expensive as buying a cheap DVD… and don’t get me started on music~~
Also… region restriction? Sucky. Digital should be for all.
Does anybody know good online stores for digital content available internationally?
*EDIT*
For eBooks, I seemed to have found ebooks.com, who answered my email wondering if international users have access to the books there. They told me that some books have region restrictions, but that most are available to anyone.

Oops! Took longer to post about the music of the month this time because I wanted to go through most of the music I had on my “to listen” list. Finally did, JUST this second!
So without further ado, the list

Availability in all regions, cross-platform… ubiquitous movies, music… even books, if possible~ x’D Well, maybe I’m going too far with the books, since there’s a base of language and there’d be THAT barrier, but you get my point, right?
For instance, I can’t really remember when was the last time I went to watch a film at the movies, because I either:
So Amy supports world premieres because she’s impatient. Also, I would fully suport Paypal if they were available in Peru, but no~ They do not support accounts in Peru (That’s why I opened one when I was in Canada). Moreover, I would support other online stores (eg. mp3 stores) but they have region restrictions… some more annoying than others. One of the most annoying is the ‘billing address’ issue… even if I have a Canadian credit card, I would not be able to use their service because I don’t have a physical Canadian address anymore… WHILE I am still able to buy a physical album and ship it here for more or less the same amount of money.
I was also ready to buy shows through BitTorrent, but they support US Only - they ARE nice and professional enough to point it out below the “buy” button, so they won’t waste your time as you try to sign up for a new account there… to then find out you don’t have the right ISP, or you can’t add your credit card, or SORRY, THIS CONTENT IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN SUCH REGION. Ever happened?
So I’m all for movies and music available everywhere at the same time. And you?

It is almost a month… >almost< since the last music post. Since then, my iPod is in danger of permanently dying… I can’t think of all the Last Played/Play Count data that will be lost, add that to the fact that some backed-up music doesn’t have the correct song information such as year, track number or even album. BUMMER.
ANYWAY! Thanks to Olympics week, I have added a few albums to my collection! Most importantly… Chinese music. I am loving me some Bibi Chow music, as well as some Lee-Hom Wang music~~ And apparently many have been enjoying listening to Guan Zhe singing Beijing, Beijing Wo Ai Beijing, making that post with the lyrics the most popular in here. Alongside that post, Beijing Huan Ying Ni and Wo He Ni join the list of most popular posts… O_O
