Comment Re:I ripped all my music from CDs (Score 2) 133
Anyway, what I'm getting at is that buying the CD gives me something that iTunes music downloaders don't get. That is unlimited access to my music without DRM and without having to pay some online service for it.
Erm, you seem to think iTunes has DRM. It doesn't.
And unless you're stealing your CDs from Walmart, one would assume you paid something for them.
What you are getting with your CDs is the full chunk of data that you can compress to the level of your choice before putting it on your portable player. And of course a physical "backup". I used to buy used CDs for this reason, but for the most part I now am willing to trade that for convenience and lower cost in most cases, so I buy from iTunes and Amazon.
