Great gift idea, just know that $15 does not equal 15 songsMonday, May 09, 2005
Yes, it's true that you can buy a full album for $10, which rocks. However, when picking out individual songs for "99 cents apiece," and you watch your little account drop more than 99 cents per song, you realize that it's all subject to sales tax. I just hate that stuff. Please, just tell people it's 99 cents plus applicable taxes. It's not that big of a price difference, but it would be nice to have $15 equal 15 individual songs... maybe it's just me.

iTunes Music Store $15 PrePaid Card ReviewThursday, April 28, 2005
I recieved a $15 iTunes Prepaid card for my birthday. When I got it, I scratched off the code, entered it, and my account was credited. Having an iPod and having used iTunes to buy songs previously, I knew what to do. For all of those who don't, here it comes.
1. You need iTunes version 4.5 or later, this is not a problem. Download it at iTunes.com.
2. Once you have it, open the music store on the left panel in iTunes, click on Prepaid Card on the left panel again, and enter the 16-digit code on the back of your card.
3. Of course, you'll need an Apple account. Again, its no problem; you just give a username, password, you're done, and no personal info needed, like a credit card (its optional).
4. Your account is credited with $15.00.
**How much does it cost?**
-A song costs 99 cents to download. You can always download a full album for cheaper, like $9.99 for 12 or 13 songs to economize some money.
-There are over 700,000 songs to choose from.
The Conclusion: You will be happy with this card if you like music. The downloads are fast and cheap, the quality of the song is EXCELLENT and it is very simple to use. Hope this helps.
Peace Out,

Their should be an IQ minimum to write a review hereSunday, April 24, 2005
This is in response to the genius below that commented about iTunes being a ripoff because songs cost 99 cents, which automatically means a 15 song cd would cost 15 bucks. I love it when people that have no clue what they're talking about write an uninformed review. Most full albums, regardless of the # of songs, costs 9.99. Not 14.00, not 15.00, it's 9.99. Do the research before you slam the system. It will save you from looking stupid in the future.
For everyone else, these gift cards serve one purpose: gifts for music lovers. Buying them for yourself is pointless unless Amazon is running a deal and you get a discount on the cards.

Not true...Tuesday, April 19, 2005
Earlier reviewer stated ...
For a while I thought this wasn't a good idea because you have to pay for shipping for a little card but you don't you can print out a peice of paper that has the number.
Not true, according to Amazon.com customer service ...
Greetings from Amazon.com.
I apologize for any misunderstanding in this regard.
To redeem this iTunes prepaid card, you must enter the code printed on the card, after you receive it on mail.
Don't be fooled!!

iTunes Is To Expensive For There MusicSunday, April 17, 2005
I have had iTunes for about 3 weeks. The Program Its self is fine but the music is to expensive. At 99 cents a song that might not seem a lot but it is. If u think about it a album has around 14 songs. If u want the whole album there would be 14 dollars. That is more than going to Target to get a cd. I gave this 2 stars because the program is good but the expense of the music is bad. So u would get 15 songs out of the card. U could just go and buy a cd or something for less than 15 dollars.
