Should Apple rename the iTunes Music Store?
After I finished my last post I got to thinking (dangerous, I know): the iTunes Music Store name is hopelessly out of date. Let's think for a moment of all the things you can download from the iTMS:- Music
- Music Videos
- Television Shows
- Short Films
- PDF's
- Video podcasts
- Audio podcasts
Readers, you are all far more clever than I: should Apple change the name of the iTunes Music Store? If so, what should they change it to? Have at it in the comments, I really want to know what folks think.

I don't want music OR store in there. Our university is becoming an iTunes U this fall and the taste of both words is sour on the tongues of academics.

In addition there is the scope idioms, itune in, call the itune; carry a itune; change one's itune; dance to another itune; in itune; to the itune of.
Apple has achieved iTunes security through diversity.
Hell no. It's still primarily a music store that sells a few other items. I still go to "record stores". There I buy music CDs, movie DVDs, and the occasional T-shirt.

i think the nickname iTMS ist great, you could read it as iTunesMediaStore.....so it fit´s
I think this article should be renamed to "I don't like the name of the Apple music store anymore. What do you think they should name it?"

It's iTunes as in "tunes in" ... so you can tune in music, tv shows, etc.
Well it's about entertainment, right? So how about "IE!"
