If iTMS would give me better quality AACs I'd consider buying music from them. As it is now I have bought a couple of albums just to try iTMS out. I listen to most of my music on my iPod, but I still want the CDs. The CD prices in Norway make iTMS a good alterative to buying CDs when considering price, but the quality still leaves CDs as the better alternative.
It's good to see that iTMS reaches a lot of people, but as others has commented it's films that will decide who wins the market. iTMS has movie trailers now, and the speculations as to when Apple will sell their first movies thru iTMS show what people want. If Apple can deliver movies first they will have a huge advantage. Right now I spend a lot of money on PLAY.COM, but if I could download the movies I want I'd gladly spend my hard earned money wherever I could legaly download new movies. I don't need a release date on the net that takes customers away from the cinemas, I just want to be able to download the movies leagaly at the same time as they hit the video rentals.

I can only guess, but this is only good if you're a US iPod user owner?? As a Norwegian I'll just have to live with the battery I have, right??
And in those 5 years Apple switched from the MP3 encoder to the AAC encoder witch has greater compression.
Simple as that.
