Anyone use it? What do you guys think of it?

Personally I would rather pay for a legal download than wait weeks, maybe even months for some album to come in the mail. That said i still order from distro's sometimes.

I'd probably use iTunes if I didn't download stuff illegaly and the quality was better than 128 and there was no DRM... as it stands they're offering a worse version of something I can get for free, so I'll pass :P

I've bought 287 songs from itunes. It's really good for buying single songs that you like, but don't really want the whole album for (usually this is stuff outside of the rock/metal genre for me). But if I absolutely cannot wait for an album, I can pay $9.99 and have it in a few seconds. I still prefer physical CDs over itunes purchases by a long shot though.

If I pay for music, I'd rather pay for a physical copy that I can add to my lovely collection than pay for a digital anomaly, but that's just me.

Me too, but...damn they make it so easy. Two clicks and it's yours in a few seconds. Impulsive people like me have to be careful with it. :ph34r:

You burn a cd of the tracks and then rip it into whatever program u want. Works fine

Only a fool uses high prices MP3 retailers like iTunes. Sites like Mp3fiesta.com have a ton of metal mp3's for sale at around 10 cents per song and better quality than iTunes.
