Is there a market for used MP3s? Could iTunes and Amazon let us sell MP3s on their platform and get a commission? It would be profitable if people buy twice more when they know they can resell.

“A new platform is like a new musical instrument. You can transpose existing music for it, or write new music that exploits its unique expressive power. The saxophone, for example, solved two problems: it provided better coupling and impedance between the reed and the air mass; and the mechanics offered better, faster fingering and a wider range of notes. You could play Bach fugues on a saxophone (rather nicely) or explore the then-emerging genre of jazz.”

Jean-Louis Gassée, Be Newsletter, Volume II, Issue 49. From The Quotable JLG.

In the other way too: when you unplug an iPod, it continues to play what iTunes was playing. Speaking of iTunes, can we expect an iTunes Pro?

Update: Apple TV, released March 20, does it for paused movies.

Update 2: iTunes Plus, introduced May 30.
