Well unlike most of the population i buy most music off itunes instead of dl them off of lime wire... I appreciated there being a way to buy music for a pretty cheap price with out having to leave my house, and not having to dl stuff illegally. So i was kinda thankful of itunes. But now its kinda starting to piss me off. I go to there store, and it's like they've gone over all great songs from the past and increased them from 99c to $1.29. Now it doesn't seem like much, but i try to make myself only spend 10$ every month on music from itunes, and its decreasing from 10 songs to 6 or 7.. Now im just wondering, do you think that they are ripping us off for songs?

But iTunes is cheaper than buying CDs. A $15 CD will cost $10 on iTunes.

But you don't get any of the cool artwork with it. Nor do you get the little booklet that comes with it. If I could I would buy vinyl, but I don't have a record player.

But on iTunes you sometimes get extra songs if you buy the whole album, one's that aren't released on CDs, maybe even a music video. Thats a pretty good deal if you ask me.

yea even looking back at all the songs, only the good ones have been raised.. The ones not many ppl pay attention to are at 99c still. But the record companies must realize that they will start to lose money. I think i might just move onto limewire, at least i can get songs i want for free

But you get porn with every search and the song quality isn't near as good... I'd stay with iTunes still.

I believe that DarkLadyRaven was pointing out a flaw to Limewire.

ummm yea first off make proper sentences, and secondly, try to make something contributional to this thread... Saying why are looking at porn is kinda a pointless thing to ask, as she was pointing out how much porn is attached to many of the popular MP3 files on limewire...

I am also upset about how they raised the price. Hopefully, enough people will avoid buying the more expensive songs and Apple will get the message. Does anyone kno why exactly they raised the price in the first place? I would think it would be a bad decision but I guess people are willing to pay more after all. Well I am not that willing to pay that much.
