This will probably be the biggest sticking point for a lot players any long-term fumbles on this end could end up sinking the whole endeavor. It had a few interface issues (not every song I’d bought comes up as “purchased” in the list of songs, and I had to remember and take a guess at a few), but it seems like just about every song has made the transition already, if not now, then in due time.

At a time when streaming services have made music more disposable, more of a backdrop to our lives than ever, the idea of sitting down and focusing our attention on a single song seems like a relic.
