There's free programs that remove that DRM thing from your entire itune library. Only thing you need is google. And music on torrent is up to 320kbps. Beat that lol. But again if you're into itune, I myself bought tons of music of itune.

Ye i know about the quality differences, but still, it's just so easy to get on the itunes store, and buy a single song. Won't hear the quality difference on my ipod anyways.

What are iTunes store music quality in nowadays?

With my CD MP3 player, i ripped in 98kbs to get maximum music on one disc.
Then I got my iRiver, sound quality wasn't enough to notice the difference between 128 and 320, so I ripped a lot of my music in 128.
I'm not regretting it, because with my Zune and Premium headphones, I can really tell the difference. I wont rip in anything but 192kbs WMA.
Anyway, I'll stick with 7digital thank you.

Most albums are £5 or less at some point or another. Compared to however much they are on iTunes.

To be honest I think it's too little, too late for iTunes. They lost a HUGE base of people due to the fact you had to have an iPod to listen to their music. I think they are hoping to recover that loss, but people have already found other sources. Such as 7digital or amazon.
Ooh, I got a sexy ex-staff title!

No one will really hear the difference between 192kb/s and 320kb/s. Makes me laugh when people say they have their whole music library in .FLAC. Like they can hear the difference.
