My parents gave me 100 bucks on their AMEX for Christmas to use on the iTMS! I've already bought two albums, and five songs off another one that is a rerelease with new stuff of an album I already bought. This is so sweet! It sounds great, and I'm very happy with my purchases!

No kidding, if you wanna hear more from Adrienne she does some backing vocals on John Rueben's latest album, as well as her new Hubby Jeremy Camp's latest album Restore. Actually if you check out his live DVD she comes out and sings I Still Believe, a song that he wrote after his first wife died of cancer.

I have very little against you personally, but this could possibly be the worst thread I've read in my 4+ years here at MacNN.

Oh my god, someone is buying music! How can we stop that? Send over RIAA troops to find illegal MP3s on his harddrive! The unthinkable has happened. The White House has been concerned about domestic changes for a long time; now the root of that has been revealed! There is a new iTunes customer. Redmond has been on high alert since the publication of this news item. Further steps and measures to be taken are pending. But one thing is clear: there will be a keen response in order to keep up security. Either you are with us or you are with the customer. We condemn this terrible act of consumption and we will asure to take any measures neccessary to stop this!

Thank you my fellow citizens.

I am a a new customer of allofme.com

Sure, my folks' credit card details have been passed to the Russian mafia, but who cares? I have the new 50 Cent album and it only costs ... wait for it ... 50 cents.

Whoa!

I've used allofmp3 since it was launched, no problems and its great quality music.

See, you complain about getting flamed for starting pointless stupid threads about the minute details of your life that no one could possibly care about and then you just keep doing it again. Why don't you think before you start a thread? Are you one of those negative attention is the same as positive attention neglected kids or something?

I love the U.S., but we need some time apart.

In the coming years, I expect to read about your "I am no longer a virgin!" thread right here.

And by that time, I expect to have quad G8s and a fuel cell Ferrari.

Congrats, Chicken. You have waited long enough. For itunes store, that is.
I, ASIMO.

Or you could get it all from kazaa and be just as illegitimate. Music purchased from that site is only legal in russia, and only then because of a loophole in their copywrite law. It's certainly no more legit than a pirated song if you're from any other country...

You can't eat all those hamburgers, you hear me you ridiculous man?

I tried that site but while it looked good and legit, the downloads were crap. I tried two albums and both played for about 30 seconds before cutting out.

I was wondering about that. Their site made it look like I was going to be breaking the laws of my country if I used their service. "Sharing" music is morally questionable to be sure, but for some company to be making big bucks off of stealing and redistributing it takes the cake. Too bad the record companies can't go after them instead of the teenagers who get hooked on music 'collecting'.

I love the U.S., but we need some time apart.

I registered for that site with a disposable email address, got my free download (didn't give them a CC # at all) and dumped the email address. There is one particular song that I've wanted, and it isn't available on iTunes.

Color me happy.
