<rant>I hate these bastards. I hope this tactic backfires on them big time. If they weren't such greedy bastards people wouldn't be driven to sharing music. Like I want to pay $20 for a cd when only about 1/2 the songs are worth a crap. Screw em all and screw their MTV cribs.</rant>

I have been waiting and will prolly use it when it comes out for the PC. Although I hear that the iTunes format sounds kinda bad.
I'd pay 20 bucks for a cd that was half good. but I also just paid 20 bucks for hulk cereal
