I agree it's pretty bad, and the excuse Apple used for this(if the songs are to go DRM-free, there needs to be a catch) is even worse.

there isnt a catch. you can even use songs you buy on iTunes in windows media player and zune player now That's why they're DRM free. Why not just buy CDs?

Why not just buy CDs?Only if you find one song you like on a CD...though I'm finding that I'm preferring to buy a whole album lately. I bought one full album on iTunes once and I'll never do it again.

Why not just buy CDs? because why spend 14 bucks on a CD if you only like 2 songs. atleast this way you are still supporting the artist unlike if you were to download the songs you want

I bought one full album on iTunes once and I'll never do it again. It's actually a better deal now to but a whole album since they raised the price. I just bought an album that was only $9.99 and it had 14 songs.
amazon DRM free FTW, i do still buy occasional CDs of bands i really like but some songs arent avalible on albums or only on a deluxe version those i usually download if i already bout the CD of the regular version

Like that would ever happen....I still buy CDs... :?Congratulations. You're better than 90% of everyone in society. People these days are too lazy to run to Best Buy, Hot Topic, Walmart, Target, [generic music store here], etc. these days. They'd rather sit at home, type in their credit card number and buy things the easy way. I will laugh at every single one of those people when their hard drives screw up and they lose everything.
For the record, I either buy a CD or a friend is kind enough to offer me a burnt copy.

Exactly. Try looking for bands that you like entire albums by :). Sure, we all have at least some bands that we only have one or two songs by, but I for one try to get entire albums.

Hey now. Sometimes I only like one song per album by a band. I'm NOT paying for the entire album if it's not worth it. Though I do prefer CD's for the bands I do like.

Point is, you're still buying the CD, whereas most of modern society is not.

This is why we listen to the album several times.listening to an album over and over wont make everyone like the entire album.No, but there's a possibility that if you give the ENTIRE album a chance there are bound to be more songs you like. Take Muse's "Black Holes and Revelations" for example. I'm sure that the only songs any random person you pick on the street would be familiar with are "Assassin" and "Knights of Cydonia". Why? Guitar Hero. Does the fact that people probably only know those two songs make it a bad album? Far from it.
edit - On second thought, I realize that random people may also be familiar with "Supermassive Black Hole" because of Twilight. I refuse to associate my favorite band with vampire romance trash.
