Claiming that the Iphone and Ipod are the only media player that can use the .ACC format is retarded. It is used by other brands of phones and media players."non-iPods can’t play the iTunes AAC format. So your selection may largely be determined by which music player you choose to use." this is a ignorantly bias. The chart information was all i found useful.

If you say that's ok, than perhaps those who tar the roads ought to tar one time and earn a lifetime (via a toll from those who use it) It's time we synonymise 'legal' with 'justice'.

(I'm not interested is shady Russian-mafia operations or other illegal services). Here is my suggested benchmark: Quality of the track once burned to CD, compared with the original commercial CD recording. My guess: iTunes would be near the bottom of the pack. Their CD's sound awful to my ear. I don't know if it is their download quality (128 bps AAC is NOT a magic bullet and is NOT demonstrably better than current-codec WMA at the same bitrate), or their crappy decoder to take their marginal-at-best 128 bit music to CD audio. I've tried Wal-Mart - no better, no surpries, same bit rate. I'm now experimenting with Napster and its 192 Kbps WMA. We'll see.

But even better to download a cracked torrent of the latest tunebite software. Then subscribe to a free trial of one of the subscription services with DRM protected material and download all you want during that period. Then convert with tunebite. Tons of music, for free. Happy days! Vince (post no.32)
