Closed ecosystem?

Unbelieveable. ACC is open source, and FairPlay DRM is the only

and HP are going to be a very powerful combination to keep the
ITMS the leading download music store.

That is, if the fools in the music industry don't drive up the
prices per son to $1.25 to $2.50 per song as some are
considering!

They cut back production on CDs and the after the fact blaed it

Yep, they're dumb enough to lock themselves into WMA and
higher per-song prices. And then all the pundits will point at
Apple and blame them.
