   It's always better to give the consumer the choice anyways. I've heard iTunes is a good program. I tried it and didn't think it was anything special. I just use windows explorer and winamp. Do a lot of you use iTunes?

   I've had iTunes crash at least 6 seperate computers. That and I really dislike software that runs as a service with no need to.

   I thought they allow you to turn it on at will? If so, then its good they did not take the sony route to things. They know if a service good and respectful, people will come back for more.

   I am in absolute love with iTunes. After switching through several different programs, I came across iTunes. It is by FAR the best out there. I didn't really mind that iTunes has the store turned on by default. All I had to do was turn it off in the features. the fact that it was sending my music information to Apple without my knowledge...that raises an eyebrow... or two.

   Great job on Apple's part. Many big companies will ignore the consumers completely, which really only hurts the companies. The whole monitoring what songs you're listening to seemed kind of sneaky, but at least the people voiced an opinion, and Apple listened.

   I haven't upgraded to the version that has this "MiniStore" feature yet, but it's good to know that the latest version has this feature off by default and that Apple "cares" about its users.

    There would be no reason why Apple would be listening to its customers through the I-tunes software right? I'm glad they switched this, because it is a serious privacy issue, and apple could have very well been sued for it, if they didn't change it. Great move though Apple, you saw the problem, and you fixed it.

    I use iTunes on my Mac, haven't bought anything from iTMS though, so this issue hasn't concerned me. In Windows I use WinAmp, in Linux XMMS.
