Go to this site and fill out the survery:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303066
If enough people comment on it, perhaps Apple will make a statement. My hope is that they just announce that they are not storing any of the data from the MiniStore, end of story. But we have to know...

Storing any data? It seems that it just searches the store based on what you hear. Nothing more.
You can take your tin foil hat off now.

Not even necessarily what you listen to. Only individual albums or tracks that you actually click on.

Yeah, there seems to have been some hysteria created over this.

I think they could have easily fixed this by having a dialog come up on first launch of 6.02 explaining the new feature and then having a "Enable/Disable" buttons. Then this whole craziness wouldn't have happened. I think people are getting bent since it was just on when you opened the new version.

Why the instant paranoia? To me its the same as being on Amazon or other retail sites that sell a lot of stuff. If I click on a certain product, it starts showing me what others have purchased that looked at the same item I am looking at. Or it gives me similar items.
This can be a helpful thing for both the buyer and the seller.
Why would anyone jump to the conclusion that Apple is listening to your personal library choices and then showing you similar music in the store?
One, how would they do this?
Two, that sounds illegal even if it is possible.
Ridiculous.

Yes God forbid apple knows what music you listen to, perhaps that would inspire them to pick up additional artists or future particular things. OH NO! GOD PLEASE DON'T!
Paranoid people about their "privacy" really get to me.
HERE'S A CLUE.
YOU ARE NOT IMPORTANT. APPLE DOES NOT CARE WHAT A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL IS DOING.
It's about group data.
That said. I like the Ministore. I don't keep it on all the time but if i turn it on I can quickly see what other albums are available to me from an artist. That's a nice feature.

I like it because it makes getting the cover art from the iTMS even easier.

I have mixed emotions.
on one hand, like Hi I'm ben said, I can see what new albums are available from an artist.
on the other hand, I'm left wondering when iTunes became AOL Instant Messenger X.
