But it says the email is only valid via the 'Tell a friend' feature in iTunes-downloaded songs. Damn.

I was waiting for the right moment to purchase that album for a while now. The countdown was just an excuse.

Well, I was off by ~12 hours (sorry), but the iTMS finally topped 1/2 billion at about 5:50 pm EST. Congratualtions to whoever the contest winner was.

i clicked right around that time (give or take a few minutes)... but I got a purchase error, and prompted to try again later... I rebooted itunes and gave it one more go but my damn network went down (purposefully by an annoying roomate working on his vonage phone) before download... The purchase registered and I got the song an hour later...
Wonder how close i might have come... my guess is the original purchase error must have come from thousands of people clicking at the same time..

Good luck to all the members here...
