'If you simply want to download music from the charts, then Yahoo and Wal-Mart are your cheapest options. For your MP3 player, there are several options, with Yahoo the best of all. If you're an iPod owner... then you're stuck with iTunes.'"

    If I'm paying $1.00 for 3 minutes of music, it's not too much to ask Apple to keep track of each 16 character array/string/uniqueID of all the music I download.

    If you connect to iTunes after, say, a fresh install of iTunes and there are no music files, it should prompt you to login and then re-download everything you've ever bought based on matching your userID up to each uniqueSongID you downloaded.

    Not that difficult, and it'd go a long way toward customer satisfaction.
