    How can you live with this arrangement, of not actually owning the media you enjoy, knowing it could be gone the next day or after your drive crashes?

    My 110GB of mp3s and mp4s is backed up, playable on any computer or portable music device in my house, and the music itself is not going anywhere. You cannot say the same.

    If my hard-drive crashes, I DL it all again. I may have to let it run overnight, but it will be restored.

    And with the portable kits, I can play my music on any device in my house, too, through the FM transmitter or by plugging it into the device or my computer. Even in the car.

    Also, the price just dropped - $5 a month for a yearly sub with Yahoo or $7 a month on a month-to-month basis.

    What are you going to do when your collection of CDs is stolen and your HDs get wiped out? Aren't there a limited number of times you can restore backups from stuff you bought from the iTMS?
