This is odd I think. EMI is going to sell premium tracks on Itunes without DRM for $.30 more than the copy protected ones. Duh!!!! Do they realize that if you want to remove the copy protection, all you have to do is burn it to CD? Not to mention the fact the songs you buy on itunes sound like crap alot of the time. I'm not paying CD prices for songs that sound like crap. I will stick to CDs. The music industry is sad.

itunes is best for bands that only produce one song you want to hear... like... most of them... because then it' a matter of paying $15 for a song.

I buy CD's myself though too... but I only buy good bands... :)

I just signed up for eMusic. they give me plain old MP3s. I love it, I think that's just the way it should be. I mean, I bought them. Let me put them on any device and any computer I want.

eMusic is $10 a month for 30 songs (and they have $15 and $20 packages as well), which is either 2 or 3 CDs a month. Sounds like a great deal to me so I'm going to give it a try for a few months and see if I feel like I'm getting my money's worth.

Plus they're high quality mp3s. They sound great on all of my systems.

there's quite a bit of things on the internet that are charged for that are intended to just take advantage of those "less than computer literate."

oh well. Guess it pays to get edumacated eh?
