apple = blu-ray
sony = blu-ray
therefore,
apple = sony

What they were too dense to realize is that Apple isn't desperate like Microsoft to buy their way into the good graces of the labels.

Hey Uni - die already. Nobody needs you.

People need to wake up and find out more about the other download options or else it will get worse. Would you like only one legal download method, that sells only aac? Doubt it...

In my opinion, this is a great move by Universal. I'm curious to see what Amazon has to offer with their mp3 store later this year. That will be serious competion and we all know Amazon means business...

Maybe they are allergic to money?

Puzzling how iTunes won't be one of those places, but I'm not inclined to make their pissing match my problem.

If the tracks are free of DRM, you should be able to load and play them on an iPod without any trouble, regardless of where they were purchased. It won't be necessary to use iTunes.

Apple = Blu-ray
Microsoft = HD DVD
Therefore,
Universal = Microsoft

Still, I will stick to the system till it's absolutely lifeless. Hopefully it will never come to that.

You go ahead and try to sell songs online without the worlds #1 online music distributor, Universal. Notice that they won't pull their catalog from iTunes. Go ahead Universal, I dare you.

I think is Universal's "comeback" to Apple refusing to pay the $5 per iPod for absolutely no reason. Universal is a sad, sad little company. They refuse to support Blu-ray even though its the most popular format. They are trying to leave iTunes even though that is the most popular online distribution channel. Nice hissy fit.
