Apple announced today that the iTunes Music Store has sold 250 MILLION songs..thats a quarter of a billion.. so much for all the smack talk from companies like napster and buymusic.com about how no one will want to buy from Apple.

So, Apple is selling over a million songs a day…and Naptser is taking what 6 months for that many? (I’m guessing… notice how none of the Windows Media Player based stores actually release regular updates on their sales, perhaps they’re trying to avoid the embarrassment of taking months to sell what Apple sells in a few hours?)
