What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

That's certainly quite helpful - not sure if I like the 180 day moratorium, but it's still better than nothing. Does this apply to all countries, or just the US, I wonder?

Certainly seems to be a consumer friendly feature.
This is especially nice since artists tend to release a song or two ahead of the album as a single, and you can now purchase that ahead of time and the rest of the album later.

I'm not sure that this is the case, though.
If a single exists as it's own "entity" on the iTunes store (a two song album, in essence) and then a song from the single subsequently appears on the full album when it is released -- do you have evidence that it counts towards the full album?
If yes -- that's a great deal, and is the instance in which I'd get the most use out of the "complete my album feature" -- but I'm not so sure that it works that way.
Everything I read refers to buying a single song off a full album and then later deciding that you want the full album.
I'm just guessing that the metadata for a song off a single is probably different than the metadata for the same song off an album.

You know that's a good point. I didn't think of it that way. You're probably right.

Not only that but there are many artists who release a "singles" version of a track but the version on the album is an extended "album" version. Won't these have different meta data since they are essentially different tracks?

Sweet. Is there going to be a "Complete My Season" for TV as well? That would be cool.
not sure if I like the 180 day moratorium
Yeah, not too thrilled with that little rule. But yes, better than nothing.
