1266061 2012-03-22 02:29:00 Also, when they stop forcing iTunes down your throat. Maybe I don't want to use their crappy program!

This! I can't stand Itunes.

I do buy CD's and vinyl though. The only time I download is if it's long out of print, or not avalible leagally anymore.

So, I can make purchases from the iTunes store without using the iTunes program can I?

Fair enough, and I have done so and expect I will do so in the future (and in better quality FLAC format too!)

The problem is not everything I want is available through other stores, since some of it is 'iTunes Exclusive' - which means having to install iTunes, and then paying good money for something that is sub-CD quality.

1266067 2012-03-22 04:09:00 Not many places to tell the truth, if I can get something on CD I prefer that, unless I only wanted 1 track for some reason then the whole CD would be a bit pointless.

www.junodownload.com was the last one I used (well, WAV not FLAC, but just recode it)

There are others but again the selection is not great unfortunately.

1266069 2012-03-22 06:25:00 You know there's something wrong with the big music companies and their way of doing things when even the artist themselves link you to the pirate bay to download a DVD as it is not available to buy. :D CYaBro (73)
