Cool, good to hear. It's rare that I'm looking to purchase mainstream anyway, so I have a feeling I'll like eMusic. Do you find yourself hitting the monthly download limits often?

Sometimes. Then I just add more songs or put it in my "Save for later" file. Some months I come across a bunch of "Must Have Now" selections. :D

I go the used CD route - that way I keep cash flowing to my local economy and legally away from the greedy artists labels and distributers.

Like E & NA & GC, I like to own my music. So I go with CDs from the collection and buy used CDs (or in many cases, new CDs listed as used at amazon for incredibly low prices) For nostalgia's sake I bought a cople of old albums on iTunes, but it was a novelty that did not appeal. I still like reading liner notes no matter how microscopic they can be.

The only exception was some e-books I've downloaded from audible.com, much easier to deal with in 1 or 2 downloaded files from them rather than loading 4-5 or more CDs on my own.

I thought I'd post this here since we were talking about iTunes etc.
If they do this, I'll be totally happy.
I'd love to download my DVDs to the computer and not worry about scratching them. I'd also buy a player for it if I could hook it up to my TV and watch stuff.

I dunno...

It takes too long to download a song. I can't imagine how long it would take ot download a movie....and then iTunes wouldn't let you burn it to a DVD, so what's the point?

I'm still undecided about eMusic. They do seem to have a lot of the offbeat artists that I've been listening to/purchasing...but they often don't have their full catalogs. I think I'd quickly get frustrated that what I'm looking for isn't there.

How could such huge download companies not cater to the iPod? I'm mystified.

It's all about the DRM, baby.

DRM...?
