Another thing: if I'm buying my music in digital format, then let me friggin do whatever I want with it! Don't lock me onto a single platform (iPod or whatever), don't fill it with DRM crap, not allowing me to move it between my various music-playing devices, and DON'T sell it to me at some crappy quality - what's wrong with lossless ?

I can't have this ? Damn, then I guess you can't have my money, either.
Sadly, for every "me", there'll be 20 middle-class moms and dads who'll shell out the cash without blinking or thinking. Why question anything, that's the way it is, now move on and don't block the way, please, sheeple!
