But I don't.....

Apple's collection is good enough for me - and the fact that I
can burn any track to CD any number of times is the clincher for
me. All the other stores have hideous DRM schemes - some
songs you can burn, some songs expire if you leave, some you
can burn but not transfer to a portable player, all use WiMP, etc.
That rules them out right there.

Apple brought the easy to use system to the masses - buy the
song @ $0.99 and you own it and can burn it, share it with 3
computers, convert it to MP3, it doesn't expire, etc. Why would I
shop anywhere else unless the price was different? That's like
saying "The store down the street sells milk for $1/gallon. The
store a mile away sells it to members only at $1.50/gallon. Man,
it sucks that I can't go to the store a mile away because I'm not a
member".

And, if my DVD player stopped playing CD's, I wouldn't care.
Because in all the years I've had a DVD player (since '99), I NEVER
put a CD in there. Never, once. If they took that out, it would
be fine by me. Heck, my new DVD payer will play MP3 Cd's and I
only used that 1x to try it out....
