Download Services

What are downloadable services?

Download services allow us to directly obtain a product in a digital form by downloading it form the internet. With no need to travel to the shop or wait for something to be delivered to you, this allows you to quickly transfer software and install it to your computer. There are other download services for music and video which involve users downloading songs, and videos to their computer via software on their computer. An example of this is Itunes which allows users to buy songs, videos and movie etc. and download them directly onto your computer.

iTunes

The most popular downloadable service is probably iTunes. This allows you to choose from thousands of songs and download them in mp4 format to your computer. You can either purchase the songs either by an iTunes card or by credit cardf over a safe service provider.  Due to the popularity of the iPod, iTunes has been increasingly used. Itunes uses a higher quality MPEG-4 audio encoding which still offers the same compression as MP3 but has a quality that rivals CD's.

Recently apple have introduced the App store which can be accessed from your iphone, ipod touch or through itunes on your computer. Apps are applications or software on these devices that make your life more manageable or easier to run.
