I know, tardy to the party.
My sister recently purchased an 80G iPod since her pithy 8G iTouch didn't have enough room. Lucky me, I got the hand-me-down (or hand-me-up rather, since it's my younger sister). Tonight alone, I must've spent $30 buying songs from bands long forgotten. The Toadies, Alice in Chains, Fatboy Slim, No Doubt, etc.
The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. I think I may be broke by step 12.
Anybody else addicted to iTunes? What's the most embarrassing song you'll admit to downloading?

I've totally ruined my recommendations list by downloading a damn Meatloaf song. :ashamed:

Pffft I have the CDS.
I have about 80 songs, 2 movies and 2 tv series downloaded from iTunes. I love it.
The only thing I've ever downloaded via iTunes was videos from here, free.
All of my music is either pirated or gotten from CDs I or friends already owned.

I try not to open iTunes too much anymore because if I do, I blow all my money. =(

I bought my iPod off a friend for $20. I never download music for it off of iTunes though. I'm not about to pay for single songs.

Likewise...
I have had an I-pod since the classic 3rd gen I believe(the one with crap battery life), and have never used i-Tunes.
Either borrow CD's of mates or my mate says he can get me any song I want, I have no idea where he gets them though.......

I just download songs and rip cds and then transfer the files to iTunes.
Haven't paid for anything iTunes related ever.

I mostly use Spotify these days.
But yeah, Itunes is also pretty cool.

I've been using Amazon's mp3 store.
Not that I have a lot of moral high ground to stand on, but while I don't think Bono or John Lennon or Miley Cyrus will miss your dollar, I'd encourage people to at least pay the 99 cents for songs by independent, up-and-coming, obscure, or otherwise struggling artists. It's kinda stupid to complain about the state of the music industry, and then give zero support to a band you actually feel deserves or needs it.

When did people start buying music legitimately? I must've missed the memo.
Seriously, who pays for mp3s??
I've got a 2Gb Creative Zen, it's very nifty, though I don't use it much anymore. Haven't gotten any songs for it in a long time. I think the weirdest thing on that is Bruce Willis singing "Respect Yourself" but I've had that around for ever.

I download as well, usually from defunct bands or ones where I don't really care if they propser beyond the one song I wanted. I've such a cold, harsh heart.

Not at all! Right of Conquest has been a leading international tenet for centuries. This is just a more civil way of exercising it and on a more personal basis.
That and no ones family gets slaughtered or enslaved.. Sounds like a win-win to ME!

I buy all my music on CD's then import to iTunes. I'm still a sucker for the physical.

When I can afford it, I do this. And use "Apple lossless" to import, no matter that it means I can store less songs. I can HEAR the difference between something stored at 136, 256 or 1016 kbps. For my most favourite songs, anything less than 900-1060 kbps doesnt' cut it. The music doens't lift the hairs on the back of my neck if it's recorded at a lower bit rate, and some of the detail/depth is sucked out of it. Even "simple" electronic music.
I really wish I could buy individual songs for 10c each, and Albums for $5. And if I"m buying online, I *really* wish for CD qualitly bit rates. I'd buy ever so much more music.
I am such a sucker for downloading TV series. Firefly was the first series to go on my iPod and then BSG (beginning with the mini-series). I watch my TV episodes while on the elliptical or treadmill.
