Grrrrrrrr.... I agree... especially the last line.
I don't like the music store, I don't like it one bit. .acc files are specific to one computer (im sure a crack will apear) but still.
The other fetures are nice, but a mixed blessing. For instance the streaming from other peoples playlist thrugh Randevous is nice, but the inability to use the feture to actually copy the music to your list is disabled. In the help file it suggests burning a CD or transfering via iPod.
But it's an obvious ploy to limit intercomputer P2P sharing. It's not like I can't log into folks servers around here and take what I wan't, but still this feature disturbes me.
No no no no no no... I don't like this one bit. Im switching to Linux if shit like this keeps up. I used to like it when Apple were rebels saying "Rip. Mix. Burn." Not saying pay pay pay.
Fuck this shit.
Well, on the bright side, it's not like their FORCING you to pay, or preventing you from sharing entirely. I mean it's not like there aren't other means available. I just don't like this slant...... yet, I have faith still... I hope Apple won't stray too far from the path.

I bought a few songs...
You can add to playlists and burn the songs - an unlimited amount of times.
The songs are on the computer, and in your library.
The .aac files are specific to *3* computers. You can go re-download them on 2 other computers are no extra cost.
I don't really have a problem with anything other than the 3 computer limit. It's a reasonable # but still...it's there.
So it's Pay. Mix. Burn. or Rip. Mix. Burn. Your option.
If they required you to rip files into DRM aac files, that would piss me off a whole lot. As long as I am free to rip into non-protected files, and burn as much as I want, I'm happy.

Yeah, it does sound like something MS would do. (Think DRM'ed music service "msnMedia" or some such, with PC-specific wma files only) It also suxxors to see that if your computer dies and you lose your music, it's tough shit for you!
H A N D C U F F W A R E (let's hope we see no more of this from Apple, god forbid they start using DRM chipsets or something)

I can't judge the Music Store feature since it's not available to any country other than the US. How's that for Apple's support?
I can say one thing with absolute certainty though. I hate the fact that Apple has released a proprietary format like *.aac. If this tactic continues then I'll propably load Linux on my iBook as well.

Not quite...if your computer dies, then you log on with your Apple ID, and in iTunes go to Advanced > "Search for purchased music" and it will re-download all of the songs for you. You do the same if you get disconnected during a download, etc.
