Plus MP3s are a lot easier to send to all my friends who use Windows and dont really know all too much rather than some huge-ass AIFF file. Like after I record a song and I want to SHARE it, Id love to share an MP3...not an m4a file lol. And RBB, what's that script? E-mail me a copy, I wanna check it out.

Yeah -- try and find an easier solution with any other music store... good luck!

How is it hard to listen to music purchased from the iTMS? You've got the iPod for portability, iTunes and QuickTime for computer listening, audio CDs for home stereo and car use, and... where else is there to listen to music other than your home, in the car, and on the go?

Seriously, the only limitation of music purchased from the iTMS is with MP3 CDs (as the name implies, you need MP3s to make an MP3 CD). Other than that one limitation, what's stopping people from taking protected files with them everywhere?

Don't get me wrong, I don't think there is another music service that can shake a stick at the ITMS!

I joined the digital music game early on and had 30 Gigs of music in no time at all. I installed an Mp3 compatible CD player in my car, purchased an Mp3 compatible CD player for the house and even an Mp3 compatible Boom Box for camping, beach or garage poker games.

Today we are a 3 iPod household but I still have a need for Mp3's in my life! I can't tell you how many times I have been in a hurry to get my latest playlist onto an MP3 CD to go in the car or boom box — only to get the dreaded message that the music i payed my hard earned money for cannot be burned to and Mp3 CD without a 5 step process! That just plain sucks no matter how you slice it.

My usual plan of attack is to burn any newly purchased ITMS files to audio and reimport them as Mp3 as soon as I buy them. I have also been know to toss the purchased file altogether and just download it with acquisition (the latter is usually faster). Why should I have to go through all this frustration? Apple hasn't prevented me from converting the files to Mp3, they've just made the process painfull!

(reminds me of windoze!)
