    Plus, MusicMatch is SO MUCH BETTER than iTunes. It even has over 50 radio stations.

    .. I'll still get most of my music with SoulSeek, Kazaa, WinMX and Overnet, and buy the rest from second hand CD shops.

    Anyone with me on this?

    There are quicker ways to degrade the sound quality then converting it twice. Why not just poke some holes in your speakers?

    Apple's "loose" DRM is all well and good, but what happens when the computer I have is hopelessly outdated, has been upgraded as far as it can be, and needs to be replaced?

    Then you give us your other arm and your other leg, and we will license the use of our property on your new computer.

    BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
