They say: "With the Tune Recycler, you can send us your unwanted iTunes bottlecap codes and we'll use them to support independent music. Easy for you, and good for musicians" Sounds like a great idea for payments that may otherwise be tossed in the trash."

    I concur. The problem with your solution? If we all do that, "Downhill Battle" can't control what we listen to, and they channel the profits to their hand-picked recipients.

    DB doesn't want you to expore indie music on your own, they want you to empower DB to support certain artists. There is a crucial difference there. One that makes a lot of indie artists (present company included) sick..
