Music download services

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.

June 19, 2006 -- First it was music a la carte. Then it was TV shows on demand. Now there are reports Apple is in negotiations to offer downloads of full-length movies on iTunes.

A report in the trade newspaper Variety today says Apple is in negotiations with "most" major motion picture studios to iron out the details and bring the inevitable to fruition.

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.
