So you're saying: there are less music downloads through iTMS than all the p2p apps put together. I can't imagine anyone arguing with that. I don't think it's a particularly interesting observation either, but I'm not going to argue with it.

A belief or conclusion held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof. Just because you state something doesn't mean it is merely an opinion, as even maddox acknowledges. It's probably best to clarify when you stray out…

More Convenient === More Downloads seems a bit of a logical leap, particularly comparing one service available in a single country with multiple p2p apps working globally. The fact that you have to pay to download from iTMS would also seem to be a f…

Quote: Originally posted by alcimedes no, it puts me squarely in the camp of "if i pay money for music, i'm not going to do it for inferior quality". ... if i want convenience, availability, time-savings or choice, iTMS is not the best choi…

Quote: Originally posted by Mac Voyer Question. How will iTMS ever improve in sound quality? Yes, to improve sound-quality they would have to re-encode all those tracks from the original source. I don't think it is *that* expensive/time-consu…

About RIAA concerns, this gadget tells you who belongs to the RIAA. : http://www.magnetbox.com/riaa/ As a bonus, it works for CDs too, because equating everything on iTMS with the RIAA is simply wrong: http://cdbaby.org/stories/04/01/05/055…
