As reported in MacNN today, two music companies have withheld support of the Australian and Japan iTunes site, hoping to, according to the article, change the price structure. Where, before iTunes, they recieved nothing, now a billion songs later and I suspect, some profit to them. They want more. Anyone wonder why people download music illegally?
I would remind the 2 record companies that iTunes could be a wonderful startup music producer on it's own, I would love to order full (AIFF) recordings from Apple rather than the compressed lossy ACC we currently are saddled with.
ACC, the file name extension appendage, the lone reason why each song costs only $.99.

Yes, they're greedy. We already knew that. If Apple offers lossless files for download, they will almost surely be Apple Lossless format.

BTW, it's "AAC" and "its."
