It gives me the freedom to not have to move and the satisfaction of knowing i'm actually paying for something. If only i could buy the songs as MP3s, instead of m4a or whatever they are. Once I find a program that can do so, I shall convert everything to MP3s. Also, I have my music saved on 2 hard drives, backed up weekly. Unless there's a fire, I'm not losing anything... God, i hope there isn't a fire. I do enjoy iTunes. It gives me the freedom to not have to move and the satisfaction of knowing i’m actually paying for something.

Thats pretty much what I was getting at. When your computer "dies" all of your music is gone. Unless you have it backed up to (in my case) 9 DVD's. Its not that I dont enjoy listening to it, its that I just want the CD too. And as far as those stores go, they can cram it. Yeah but you dont have anything material.

I mean, I can remember my grandparents telling me about their music while I was little, and I barely cared. Hell, I couldn't stand my parents' music, much less theirs. As for the digital thing, I prefer an easily-disposed-of, plastic death-wrap free, environmentally friendly MP3. The "illegal" ones contain no DRM for the most part. I think Travis likes killing the Earth. Is that what you like, Travis? Also, my co-worker has Napster, and an MP3 player of course. He downloads music through there from time to time, and he loves it. However, about two days ago, his MP3 player "died" on him, saying there was nothing to play. When he looked further into it, this is what he found out: If you download an MP3 from Napster, it comes with a 30-day license. If you don't visit the Napster store, download music using the Napster proprietary program, or somehow give them your soul for 30 days, your licenses expire on the MP3s and they are no longer playable. At all. Personally, I use BitTorrent to get MP3s. The next generation can go to hell. Do you really think your kids / grandchildren will be interested in your music in the first place, though?
