iTunes?? You mean that shop where you can buy mp3's for a markup because the application has an apple logo on? I can't access it because I only have a Linux computer and Mr Jobs says that makes me bad :-(
I use other mp3 stores that sell me identical music at a cheaper price, and I donate the difference to charity. Does the music on iTunes sound different than the same track from other sites?
