Pay For Music But Get It Free
I know many people who buy music from iTunes. Their music sucks. I know many other people who download music for free. Their music rules. The tracks may be the same, but there is a world of difference between the versions.
iTunes songs can be played on a total of 5 computers and ONLY by iTunes or on iPods. Want to make a little video and use an iTunes track? Can’t. Want to burn some mix CDs? You’re gonna have maybe 7 burns at most. I really don’t understand why anyone buys music from iTunes.
So what to do if you don’t want to download music torrents for free but want your music unlimited? There’s lots and lots of options out there for you. Amazon has a fantastic mp3 store with no DRM restrictions. Or even better, buy the songs from artist websites and download full tracks without paying a middleman. Seriously, there’s no excuse for continuing to support iTunes crappiness.
