They would love to buy songs for cheap prices, rather than having to share information. It only benefits artists and record companies.

I think the way it is now is still at or just below the minimum standard one would expect for a 1.0 release, and unless there’s a drastic advance very soon Ping is already so tarnished that its chances of success are low. And I think the damage to the iTunes brand, a key one for Apple, is pretty big, too.

The other day soundgarden posted a link for a new video they just released, and i cannot copy it! really wierd! Are we going back to writing links on pieces of paper?

I tried it and now am “following” a bunch of artists and friends that are in the background of iTunes that I have no idea of their activity unless I go directly to the Ping page. Since it takes so long to load and present itself, I leave it in the background. When I have visited the Ping page, I quickly scroll through the page finding nothing of interest. Yawn.

I would have been much more excited about the rumored 60 second previews to tell you the truth.

Off topic: I like the site’s new use of Twitter for posting links, but why is the site so iDevice unfriendly? It’s a real turnoff that keeps me from coming back. Don’t tell me to get your app, their should be a mobile friendly site.
