Apple Computer's new online music service sold more than 1 million songs during its first week of operation, the company said Monday.

I'd still prefer to go into the store and buy an actual album. I'd probably go online and buy a song, but with declining album prices, its getting more affordable by the day to own a massive album collection......mine just topped 720 discs strong!
