That's A Lot of Music

On the brighter side of the news this weekend...Apple sold its one billionth song -- that's 1,000,000,000 songs -- sometime Thursday night or Friday morning, U.S. time. According to an ABC News story, the guy who downloaded (the downloader?) the one billionth song won a $10,000 iTunes music card, a new 20-inch iMac computer and ten 60GB iPods.

Ah, what I could do with a $10,000 iTunes music card. With only 2,064 songs currently on my iPod -- that would take 5 days, 11 hours, 21 minutes and 37 seconds of music to listen to all the way through -- I really do need to flesh out my collection, don't I?
