Yup, there's no comparing the beautiful interface of the new marketplace and the bleak plain jane iTunes.

But wait! The Marketplace is having some kind of issues with you being able to preview a song or music video. Is it just me??

The interface is very slow. It takes forever just to get all the pictures up. Don't lecture me on internet speed. It's cable and the fastest.

Please tell me if it's just me or not. Says Opening for 5 mins. Then an error pops up with some kind of code: cd0093 (something like that) and gives me a link for web help that goes nowhere).

Plus Microsoft said there was going to be videos, not just music videos. Where's the tv shows, clips, and so on. I hope the tighten up their content before the thousands jump on after Christmas.

I am not having any issues with the marketplace at all. It's actually pretty snappy on this end. I just double checked to make sure it wasn't something new.

I also moved a ton of music folders around on my music server, so it is adding the media in right now too. Normally that causes some slowdowns even in the marketplace, but not this morning.

I would love to see other content in the marketplace as well and maybe a couple more free songs a week to get people downloading from the marketplace.
