Now that I have some songs available through the iTunes Music Store [ed: it's now just the "iTunes Store" since it's more than just music. :-) ] I want to link to what I have from my MySpace profile.

My name is Daniel Sadownick and I am a jazz artist whose CD "There Will Be A Day" is now up on iTunes as well as other online retailers.

I love my iPhone and have been having all sorts of fun playing with it. What I want to do, however, is assign custom ringtones for some of my friends.

I was in a Starbucks the other day and noticed that they had cards offering free songs from the iTunes Store, cool, but what was really cool was that it was a track from the new Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis album Rainy Day Blues. I want. But how do I get?...

Just read about Amazon's new online music store that features millions of songs for sale without any digital rights management junk. Yeah! My question, before I jump in, can I access the store on my Mac, and if so, can I then put the new music into iTunes and thence onto my iPod?...

I live for music and have a ton of different musicians and bands that I want to keep track of. I know I can go to somewhere like Google News + Technorati and create dozens of searches, but, man, it's the 21st century, surely there's an easier way?...
