Alicia Keys chats to ilikemusic.com
"What I like about iTunes, for me, is the way I can go back and listen to the tunes that I love. And I like that you can get exclusive things on it that you won't really find anywhere else." An example of which Alicia performed to the suits in the audience at the launch event.
Now, with all this talk of downloading and computers, what about the humble record shop. Will downloading music at home ever fully replace going into a record store and having a good wander round?
"Not for me," Alicia declares. "I like being able to go to a record store and check things out, look for that one you really can't find, or going to a section you never usually go to and saying, well let me pick out one that looks interesting, there's nothing like going out and experiencing it, so this is not an excuse to stay stuck behind your computer and never come out ever again. Get out and breathe some fresh air, but if you want to do something quick, it's a great option."
"It was difficult for me before to figure out which CDs I would bring on the road, they take up so much space it got too heavy," she smiles. "Now I'm able to inport the CDs I like into my computer and download legally for family and people."
And as for the diary of Alicia Keys for 2004 - well she's finished her Verizon Ladies First Tour with Beyonce and Missy Elliott and is back in the UK at the end of June in London and Manchester.
"I love coming to the UK and the way the concert has evolved is through the roof. I can't wait to be here again." And we can't wait to have such a fantastic talent on our shores again.

Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
Rhys, Good Shoes: ilikemusic because... It gets you moving.
Tom Baxter: ilikemusic because... It makes you feel alive more than anything else.

Peter Cincotti: ilikemusic because... Of what the world would be without it. It’d be a very scary place. I think we’d all be screwed.
Oliver, Young Knives: ilikemusic because... It evokes a mood and a feeling of when you last heard the track.
Kevin Michael: ilikemusic because... I’ve been singing my entire life. I cannot go without listening to it or singing for a day. I wake up to it, I go to sleep to it, I am music.
