General Comments

I have used iTunes once for a period of 6 months, downloading 105 tracks. Yes, it is low, but that is all I could afford! A buck a song is insanely overpriced, especially since they are heavily DRM'ed. You can only play it on 5 authorized computers and 5 iPods. Even CDs, which are less money anyway, can be played on unlimited computers and unlimited MP3 players. iTunes songs can only be played on iPods, no other MP3 player, since it is in AAC format and only iPods have the ability to play songs in AAC. The selection is nice, but the absence of The Beatles and Kid Rock really surprises me. The videos are also heavily DRM'ed. I cannot play my movies anywhere but on Quicktime or my iPod. The games are also very, very overpriced at 6 bucks a piece, and they are not that good. The support is okay, nothing special. Overall, I would never use iTunes again. Not only would I never recommend it to anyone, I commonly advertise other MP3 downloading sites to people I know who use iTunes, and they switch that day and love it. iTunes is the one place where I was most ripped off in their crazy, minipulating monopoly.
