  • You know what is funny, if Apple were to institute a ~$15 subscription service, it would be hearlded as 'cool and groundbeaking' and probably would not carry the stigma that the Napster service is carrying.

  • Most definitely. I love my iPod as well as iTunes, but I just thought that the ITMS shouldn't be put up on too high a pedestal. It's not perfect, and it is important to note the restrictions, especially when comparing it to other music stores.

  • 'I don't know about you but if I pay one cent for any music, I want to be able to use it anyway I like.' It should be noted that while music purchased from the ITMS is much more flexible than say, Napster To Go, it still includes DRM which prohibits specific uses with it. You cannot truly 'use it anyway you like' unless you have truly DRM free music such as with eMusic or the old MP3.com. Of course, there are always the projects like the hymn project to help you with that
