Yeah, and the few people that do will go back to piracy should the music store go up in flames. They are so stupid. Do they actually think that the music store is what is driving the iPod craze?? You have got to be kidding me. I'd love to stop 10 people on the street and ask them how many iTunes store tracks are on their iPod. |

I actually have quite a few. I've purchased over 100 songs from iTMS. And I've actually wanted all of them; unlike when I'm forced to buy a CD of crap for only one song.
Hmmm... $1(+Tax) for a song I want or $12-16(+Tax) for a song on a CD full of other garbage. Which makes better sense for the consumer.
Oh wait... the RIAA doesn't care about that, now do they??

You actually BUY your music?
Really. I just rip my old CDs. Atleast if I lose my iTunes library or ipod, I just rip them back. Or have a backup and use a 3rd party iPod->HD utility.
Yes, ipod will play MP3s, AAC, MP4... I am surprised that most folks think iPods ONLY play a proprietary format (Real make this up?). But, iTunes tracks are 'authorized' to the purchaser's computer. This is where Apple does the DRM dance to make RIAA happy. too bad the studios are greedy. Like the Telcos, they just wait till someone has a successful model, threaten to pullout, then get someone else to 'blow' them and sell their carp. Creative? M$? who knows.
Point here is, what if the musicians, that are now seeing money they weren't, tell the studios to f-off? I mean, most bands can and should be independent and allow Apple to sell for them. This could backlash. They (studios) missed the boat, and now, from a deserted isle, threaten the very rescuers!
"eff ewe RIAA and you pocket of greedy studios". Should have capped CDs at $5.99/$9.99. this would be moot by now... |

Here is where Apple should tell them go head pull the plug.Then announce to all iPod owners DRM will no longer be part and parcel of an iPod and current iPod owners need to return them for a new and improved DRM free model.
