iTunes Store Spelling Fail
It’s not often that you see mistakes in spelling on the iTunes Store; quality control there is generally up to par. But it’s pretty embarrassing when you spell someone’s name wrong, and do it in a big graphic. Here’s a screen shot from the rotating graphics at the top of the window in the Jazz section:

The correct spelling is “Konitz”, as you see when you click on the graphic and go to the album’s page.
No big deal, but it struck my eye, being familiar with the artist. I’m sure the iTunes Store will fix this soon.
Update: just for the heck of it, I looked up the record label and sent them an e-mail. They don’t seem to care either.

The French iTunes store has been lagging recently. In jazz, a newly found exceptional club recording of Ella Fitzgerald has been released and I immediately went looking on the iTunes Store. Not there. So I bought the hard copy of the set of CDs from fnac. Fnac’s gain, Apple’s loss. Then the new Adobe Photoshop App appeared…in the US, but it took a while till it appeared on the French iTunes Store. Well, at least it did arrive eventually. On the other hand I’ve been checking daily for the new Dragon Dictation App and that hasn’t arrived. It is frustrating to read about something and find it isn’t available over here.
