All this Lala.com talk and Apple still won’t let us even preview tracks using a Web browser, why? Well, the news here is that that just isn’t true any more - Apple has at last fully -enabled Web browser-based song previews of tracks offered for sale via iTunes.
Now, we know Apple first introduced iTunes Preview in November 2009. This was extremely limited in terms of functionality, however - while you could review song listings using a browser, you were unable to listen to the songs without sparking up iTunes.
But (drum roll please) Apple has changed tack and is now offering browser-based song previews of 30 seconds of the music. This means you can sample a song from an iTunes Preview link using a Web browser.
