You know, a few years ago, American Airlines did a big ad campaign about how they pulled a bunch of seats out of their planes to give their passengers more room, because they really care about passenger comfort. At that point we were supposed to feel really good about AA because they were treating us customers so nicely. But who added those extra seats in the first place and why didn't they give a crap about customer comfort then?
Now we have itunes and emi pulling the same stunt. First they take away sound quality and add restrictions. Then they give you back what they took away, bit by bit, all the time racheting up the price. I guess they figure that if people were dumb enough to buy into the restrictions and compression in the first place they won't be smart enough to realize that they are paying 2x what they used to for the same product (albeit with hardware restrictions due to the proprietary format). This is one instance where it is quite clear what the company thinks of their customers:... baaaaaaa. baaaaaaaa. And why would anyone prefer apple lossless to an open source format such as flac? Is it because you like being restricted to buying apple hardware or paying a higher price for a non-apple, but licensed player? Oh yeah, I forget. You were suckered into buying apple lossless music from itunes and now they have you by the short hairs because you can't play your library on anything but apple hardware... Lesson to be learned: don't buy proprietary/restricted music formats or hardware. baaaaaaa. baaaaaaaa.
