Ever since iTunes there has been number of other music download services that have launched. Besides the file format they use and what software they can be played in, they are all the same and I will not buy music from any of them. What if I decide to buy another MP3 player three years that isn’t an iPod, all that music I purchased from iTunes would be useless. Thats a big problem for me.

The only exception is Bleep because you download MP3s that you can play anywhere and electronic music is more difficult to find in stores.

This is the service I want and I will use iTunes as an example since I own an iPod.

You buy an album like usual for $9.99 but when you purchase you would have the option to add on the actual CD for an additional $5. This way I get my music on demand and get to have it right away. I know I would buy more music this way since its very easy for me to fire up iTunes and buy on an impulse.

Until then I will continue to shop at record stores for my new music and none of these music services will be getting any of my money.

I dont know, it makes sense to me.
