| Re: What a suuurrrrprise! said by kyramilan  :If I pay for it, I should be able to use it for personal use on my DVD player, computer, car CD player, my music/movie player with the 60 gig HD (No, it is not an iPod) etc. however I wish. Why people pay $.99 for iTunes that sucks compared to the CD version I have no clue. Why not all MP3s in 256kbps and all WMA in 192kbps? Anything else is a total ripoff. And, who is to blame? The 100 million idiots that bought music from iTunes! If they would have said, "No! Make it 256kbps and I'll bite or NO iTunes," we wouldn't have crappy music at ridiculous prices and idiots stealing everything all over the place. I'll agree with you there, I think you should be able to listen to/ watch something you PAID for anywhere, anytime.
As for the .99 iTunes - I've never used them, but I don't have an iPod - What's even worse than this, is that people will pay $4 - $5 (or more!) on a stupid ringtone of a song. That's a 20 second CLIP for cryin out loud!!!!! Talk about stupid.
But I'll agree with you, if the downloads were CD-quality, and priced right, .99 per song IS reasonable, they could do better business... not that business is hurting on iTunes - However, even if the song was .01, someone would download it for free via torrent/p2p.
Sorry this post strayed a bit OT.  |
